Councilmember Villagran, who led the item’s presentation, said the plan was developed with input from residents, workers and a project steering committee and involved bilingual surveys, pop‑up events and two open houses. Villagran moved an amendment to remove the document’s designation of a single preferred street design on page 7 and to rename the plan’s alternatives (the transcript records the redesignations to “option 3,” “option 2a,” “option 2b,” and “option 1”) and to reconcile those changes across the document.

Several members of the Highland Hills Neighborhood Association and San Antonio Independent School District officials spoke during public comment. Andrew Janowski, vice president of the Highland Hills Neighborhood Association, said neighbors oppose reducing Goliad from four travel lanes to three, citing existing heavy traffic and local bus stops that create backups. \"We need to keep 4 lanes,\" Janowski said.

George Hinojosa, also representing Highland Hills Neighborhood Association, said the area is tight‑knit and growing, and he welcomed revitalization but expressed concern about lane reductions as traffic increases near Brooks and the Arboretum.

Ana Alicia Romero, San Antonio ISD director of legislative and external affairs, said the district favors a design that maintains current lanes in the school zone near Kate Schenck Elementary School. Romero said adding bicycle lanes along Goliad could worsen congestion during student drop‑off and pick‑up, and that surrounding residential streets are narrow and could face similar bottlenecks if pickup were redirected.

The council voted to adopt the plan as amended. The amendment and the main motion both carried after council discussion; the transcript records the motion carried but does not provide a roll‑call tally in the meeting text. No separate budget appropriation was recorded on the floor during the vote; the ordinance adopts the plan document and directs implementation steps consistent with the amended language.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council A Session Oct 02, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","San Antonio City Council adopted the Goliad Road Revitalization Plan on Oct. 2 after amending the document to remove a single preferred street design and rename design options.

Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones read a proclamation calling on residents to join the “purple porch” campaign and urged the city to continue supporting prevention, intervention and survivor services. The proclamation said domestic violence affects adults and children across demographic groups and called for a united response from government and community partners.

Maria Villagomez, identified in the meeting as a co-chair of the city–county collaborative on domestic violence, told the council the collaborative and local nonprofit and city partners are working together and said the area receives about seven 911 calls per hour related to domestic or interpersonal violence. “Making interpersonal violence a priority of the public safety committee — there’s a lot of work to do here in San Antonio and we’re excited to continue to do that work,” Villagomez said.

A city public-health speaker, identified in the transcript as Dr. Jacob, thanked partners and city staff and encouraged residents to use available Metro Health and partner resources. Council members from across districts praised nonprofit providers, police and courts for response work and emphasized prevention and long-term supports. Council remarks noted the city’s high rates of interpersonal violence, called for continued investments in training and services, and urged attention to children and other indirect victims.

The council and nonprofit speakers highlighted several local providers and collaborations by name during the discussion, including Family Violence Prevention Services and local battered women’s shelters, and noted partnerships with Metro Health, the police department, municipal court and other city departments. Speakers also encouraged use of the purple porch campaign — placing a purple bulb or wreath on a porch or door to signal support for survivors — as a visible demonstration of community backing for prevention and help.

The proclamation and the council’s public comments emphasized that preventing and responding to domestic violence requires cross-sector work in law enforcement, health, social services and education. No formal ordinance or budget action was taken during the proclamation and remarks portion of the meeting.","The San Antonio City Council on Oct. 2 proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, highlighted local response partners and urged residents to join a citywide purple porch campaign.

Item 28 (Goliad Road Revitalization Plan) was discussed and amended to remove a designated preferred street design on page 7 and to rename the plan’s alternatives; the council adopted the plan as amended. Public commenters and San Antonio ISD representatives urged retaining four travel lanes in the school zone near Kate Schenck Elementary School.

Council participants discussed timing and quorum for filing the nomination; staff noted the deadline to submit the nomination to BCAD is Oct. 15.

Council did not record further procedural conditions on the appointment in the open meeting.
