This week we’re joined by Trish Wallace and Jillian Harris, transportation planners at the City of San Antonio. Tune in and hear about the history of the San Antonio Riverwalk, the city’s bike master plan, and the inner workings of the SATomorrow Plan.

Our discussion of San Antonio’s growth leads us to all sorts of Texas planning quirks like extra territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and municipal utility districts (MUDs). And we dig into the amazing public involvement they’ve gotten for SATomorrow, and why San Antonio is a city on a mission.
