SAN ANTONIO – One of the oldest streets in San Antonio is getting a makeover, as long-planned improvements to Commerce Street are underway. A section of the roadway is closed through May 15 between Flores Street and Laredo Street as crews replace aging utility lines, but that’s just the beginning.
“Commerce Street is right in the heart of the proposed Zona Cultural district, which is going to be beautiful with wider sidewalks and landscaping and lighting,” said Paul Berry, spokesperson for San Antonio Public Works.
