West Side residents hope creek restoration, more trails will revitalize community
FacebookTwitterEmail
The West Side has been home to Amelia Valdez’s family for 100 years.
After moving from Múzquiz, Mexico, the family picked cotton and lived in
corrales rows of small houses along Apache Creek, where they also washed their clothes. But in the 1950s, badly needed flood control projects covered springs and creek beds with concrete and cut off neighborhoods from one another.
Today, plans to construct hike-and-bike trails and restore the ecosystem of Alazán, Apache, Martinez, San Pedro and Zarzamora creeks have been in the works so long, some may have written them off or forgotten about them. But restoration of the creeks has quietly moved forward.

Even among wisened civic leaders who have learned not to get too excited about the lofty plans of new administrations, there is palpable cheer among some in San Antonio who think President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure proposal could have a once-in-a-generation impact on the environment.
Though the spending package announced March 31 is called the American Jobs Plan, it is by any name Biden’s climate change bill, drawing plaudits or opposition on those terms.

Now more than 50 miles into my attempt to circumnavigate San Antonio on foot, my feet are sore and my is skin burnt, but my eyes are newly opened to huge swaths of the Alamo City. During my last trek, Leon Creek revealed miles of wonderful rocky cliffs and native plants, while the Medina River’s Land Heritage Institute proved an essential and heretofore unknown to me destination for local nature lovers. The leg I’m recounting in this installment of my occasional series connected the Medina River Greenway to the River Walk’s Mission Reach.
