Quote of note
"The De Zavala project is beginning on schedule,” Shavano Park Mayor Bob Werner said. “We're really excited about the opportunities that have been provided by the HUD grant from Congress. We’re anticipating that it's going to be finished before the 2026 Independence Day celebration in Shavano Park, and that it will serve as a corridor for people going through and from San Antonio into Shavano Park.”
