Rigsby Ave in San Antonio, TX

The City of San Antonio completed intersection improvements on Rigsby Ave, a project spanning Hackberry to Clark in the 78210 ZIP code. This new construction effort covered 4,370 sq ft and focused on upgrading traffic flow and pedestrian safety at the intersection. The work included installing traffic calming elements, applying new road striping, and constructing ADA-compliant ramps to ensure accessibility for all residents.

TDLR closed the project file in January 2026, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in July 2025, with construction starting that same month. The filing indicated a scheduled completion date of September 2025, and the final inspection passed in July 2025, confirming that the physical work aligned with the required standards before the administrative closure.

Project Scope and Cost

The estimated cost for this project was $275,000, resulting in a cost of $63 per square foot. This figure is below the county median of $115 per square foot for similar new construction filings in Bexar County. The scheduled build window of 85 days was also shorter than the county median of 207 days. The scope of work was specific, targeting the intersection area to improve safety and compliance with accessibility guidelines.

Alan James Lopez served as the registered accessibility specialist for this project. As a Federally funded roadway project involving public funds and public land, the work adhered to strict federal and state standards. The City of San Antonio is the owner of record, which is consistent with its portfolio of other local infrastructure projects. The use of public land and funds underscores the municipal commitment to maintaining safe and accessible public right-of-way.

The project is located in Bexar County, a region with a median household income of $51,990 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates for ZIP 78210. The area has a population of about 34,740 and 14,410 housing units. The median owner-occupied home value in this ZIP code is $172,700. These demographic and economic details provide context for the community that benefits from the improved intersection and enhanced accessibility features.

The completion of this project adds to the City of San Antonio’s record of infrastructure development, which includes other registered projects totaling over $4.7 million. The efficient timeline and cost-effective execution reflect a streamlined process for municipal upgrades. The final closure of the TDLR file in January 2026 confirms that all regulatory and accessibility requirements were met, leaving the intersection ready for public use without pending review issues.
