El Camino Real's History in District 10!
Did you know one of Texas' most historic highways, 'El Camino Real' is in District 10?
In the early 19th century, Camino Real ran from the central Mexican city of Zacatecas to the border city of Nagocdoches to San Antonio. Real brought travelers from all over to the freshly founded town. The highway was meant to connect the various missions, presidios, and other provincial governmental centers of Spanish North America to each other and to Mexico City, the capital of the Spanish territory. El Camino Real, notably, wasn't just one trail but one made up of a network of regional routes, with four major sections including Old San Antonio Road.
Old San Antonio Road, still in use today, ran 500 miles in length from Louisiana to Texas, connecting the Sabine River to the missions along the Rio Grande. The trail was created by the native peoples of the area, before the Spanish worked on the trail starting in 1689, according to the Texas chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
After receiving popular and historical interest throughout the 20th century, the National Park Service named the full route of El Camino Real a National Historic Trail in 2004.

HOMESTEAD PROPERTY TAX UPDATE:
Neighbors, as the budget season approaches, I will continue to push for an increase in our homestead exemption by 20%. In 2017 I spearheaded the first-ever city homestead tax exemption, and in 2019 it became reality. The last thing we want to do is burden our taxpaying neighbors. An increased exemption will help them live comfortably. There is an abundance of resources offered by the City to ensure that people have filled out their property tax information correctly. Join the Neighborhood and Housing Service team at one of their workshops in District 10, May 8, 2023, 4 PM - 6 PM at the Tool Yard (10303 Tool Yard):

The City of San Antonio begins Cool Pavement Pilot Program!
The City of San Antonio began installing Cool Pavement to sections of roadway in all 10 City Council Districts in an effort to fight rising temperatures in the hottest parts of San Antonio.
On May 8, District 10 will begin their project on Higgins Rd., from Buckwheat St. - Nacogdoches Rd!
Cool Pavement is a water-based asphalt treatment that can reduce spikes in temperature by reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat.
The pilot program will cost approximately $1 Million and is funded by the City’s Resiliency, Energy Efficiency, and Sustainability Program Fund.
After the Cool Pavement is applied, the City will study the locations for six months and work with the University of Texas at San Antonio to evaluate its potential to reduce temperatures in the city's hottest parts and test its sustainability. This aligns with the City’s SA Climate Ready, Climate Action & Adaptation Plan adopted by City Council on October 17, 2019.
More information about the program can be found here.
The 10 project locations are listed below. An interactive map to see when and where the cool pavement will be applied around San Antonio weather-permitting can be viewed here.

City is now accepting applications for REHABARAMA!
The City’s Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) is expanding its REHABARAMA program. If selected, participants may receive minor home repairs at no cost.Eligibility restrictions apply.
One goal of REHABARAMA is to preserve aging housing stock for the purpose of allowing residents to age in place & gain generational wealth. “Our older housing stock provides a high proportion of naturally occurring affordable housing that remains largely unsubsidized and unprotected. These existing homes can be at risk of deterioration or demolition due to deferred maintenance, and once they are gone, we lose the affordability,” says Shanon Miller, Director of the Office of Historic Preservation. “Prioritizing repair and maintenance programs for our older housing stock is supported by the City's Strategic Housing Implementation Plan as an environmentally and economically sustainable method of housing preservation.”
Qualified participants are eligible to receive assistance with home repair and maintenance projects focused on arresting deterioration and prolonging the useful life of the home. Typical scopes of work include projects that address one or more of the following:
- Building envelope (siding, soffit, fascia, roof penetrations, skirting)
- Structural systems (foundation, stabilization, reinforcement of structural elements, masonry)
- Non-compliance with property maintenance code issues
- Weatherization & comfort (wood window repair, windows screens, door repair, insulation)
- Longevity (scraping, caulking, painting, flashing, gutter repair)
- Safety (porch repair & decking, accessibility)
To be eligible, the home must be constructed prior to 1960, and the income level for the household must be at 80% of the Area Median Income or below.
To apply, homeowners can visit the REHABARAMA website or call 210-207-3327 to request an application by mail or email.
Beyond preserving aging housing stock, another goal of REHABARAMA is to integrate trades education and learning opportunities into every project. The City is seeking to hire contractors that would be willing to host an apprentice at no cost. Interested contractors can call 210-207-4680 or visit the REHABARAMA website to submit the Contractor Interest Form.
