Use this Walkable Community Workshop (WCW) as an opportunity to push for safety, mobility, and accessibility improvements you would like to see.
Workshop Objectives
The program brings you together with transportation partner agency staff to discuss transportation issues and concerns in the area that pose a barrier to the community being walk- and bike-friendly. You’ll be able to input issues involving transportation, like code compliance issues, potential safety improvements, or lighting, in person or online, whichever is more convenient!
Following the public input period for the Walkable Community Workshop (WCW), AAMPO will summarize the WCW results and provide this to elected officials and our transportation partner agencies for planning purposes. The reports can launch a meaningful dialogue between you and your community leaders and be used to leverage for further studies or even funding!

Walking Audit
The Beacon Hill Area Neighborhood Association board members, Alta Vista Neighborhood Association board members, Alamo Area MPO, City of San Antonio, and VIA Metropolitan Transit staff will be conducting a walkability and bikeability audit on April 12, 2025. An audit involves an impartial assessment and analysis of the pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, aiming to identify concerns related to the safety, accessibility, comfort, and convenience of pedestrians and bicyclists within a specific environment. Beyond identifying problematic areas, the audit will explore potential alternatives or solutions, such as engineering interventions, policy adjustments, or educational and enforcement measures. This audit will help kick-off the civic engagement planned for the citizens, workers and visitors of the area in the coming weeks.
