From rivardinsa: SARA’s spokeswoman said the authority will spend an estimated $77,000 and three weeks with staff and contractors working together to restore the Mission Reach. That cleanup will be paid for with tax dollars.
The banks of the San Antonio River along the Mission Reach are lined with litter including tarps, plastic bags, food and beverage containers, and styrofoam.We report on local government year-round, but during an election, our team goes above and beyond to ensure readers are well informed.Will you make a donation today to support our in-depth reporting?The late-April storms and Fiesta celebrations have passed.
Trash is entangled in trees along the banks of the San Antonio River, making cleanup and disposal more difficult.Would we want prospective visitors and potential future residents to see photographs of the river in this condition? Do we want continuing human indifference in the guise of the city’s biggest party to pollute the landscape, year in and year out, after spending years and $384.
A SARA work crew was busy this past week cleaning the Eagleland Reach of the river just south of King William and below the Blue Star Arts Complex. That’s, perhaps, a quarter to half mile when the damage was done in a matter of days and nights. The photos in this column were taken Friday afternoon, evidence that the job ahead remains a big one.The impact on wildlife, on land and in the water, will be less visible but no less impactful..The base of a tree is surrounded by waste following storm events and additional litter from Fiesta.
