Today, the ambitious plan is on life support. Alamo and Houston streets likely will remain open to traffic for several years. The flagstone-covered plaza might not be lowered 18 inches to its historic 1836 surface. And the Cenotaph will remain in place near the center of the plaza, instead of being moved 500 feet south, as envisioned in the plan.
At San Antonio City Hall, it’s unheard of for a councilman to be removed from a key post on a committee guiding a major project in his own district. But, frustrated after months of delays, Mayor Ron Nirenberg last week replaced Councilman Roberto Treviño in two key committee roles.
