Social media roasts City of San Antonio for clip on how to get to NIOSA amid construction

San Antonio Public Works became a punch line on social media after the city department shared a video explaining how those attending NIOSA, one of Fiesta's busiest events, should navigate ongoing construction on South Alamo Street. The video, shot from a first-person POV and tweeted out Wednesday, tells viewers via instructions flashed onscreen to "Start at E. Market and head South towards (sic) E. Nueva St." Pedestrians should then "cross at the SOUTH side of E. Nueva" and "Safely cross E. Nueva to La Villita," it continues. Public Works' instructional video also showed off the department's new "Walk This Way" guidance markers, which pedestrians can scan if they become confused or lost amid traffic cones and construction tape.
