The Texas Department of Transportation is funding a new bicycle path in downtown San Antonio. The city was awarded a grant of nearly $16 million as part of TxDOT's Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside program. The grant will pay for nearly a mile of separated two-way bike lanes through downtown from Flores Street to I-37. The new route will include Dolorosa, Market, Alamo, and Commerce Streets. The project will also upgrade traffic signals, signage, and safety lighting for cyclists and pedestrians.
