San Antonio lands federal grant to study how to better connect the East Side

San Antonio has won a $2.9 million federal grant to study how to better connect the East Side and downtown, long separated by Interstate 37 and a network of rail lines. The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Neighborhood Access and Equity Grant Program, created to repair the negative effects of highways that slashed through marginalized communities when they were built. The program is part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
