Owner and Registration Details

The City of San Antonio is responsible for the project’s execution and funding. The registration includes a note that the project involves public funds, public land, or is a Federally funded roadway project. Alan James Lopez is the registered accessibility specialist listed on the filing. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in August 2026, and the status is Review Complete.

For context, the City of San Antonio has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,150,870 in the region, including larger developments such as Pearsall Park at $3,200,000. This specific project aligns with the city’s broader infrastructure improvements but remains a smaller-scale intervention focused on sidewalk and ramp construction in the 78228 ZIP code area.

The surrounding area, according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates for ZIP 78228, has a population of about 55,474 and a median household income of $50,865.

These demographic details provide a baseline for the community that will benefit from the improved pedestrian access and ADA-compliant features once construction is complete.
