VIDEO DesignteamCENTRAL team report --------------------	The Central Team examined the vicinity of the San Antonio River between the downtown core and the San Antonio Museum of Art. Here the challenge was to take advantage of this area's opportunity for intensive redevelopment -- sites for a large hotel, high-rise apartments and mixed-use projects comparable to RiverCenter were identified -- while preserving and, indeed, expanding the river corridor as an urban green space. The team proposed ecologically sensitive plantings along the river and urged the closing of several dead-end streets to create green pedestrian zones carrying River Walk ambiance and value-creation to nearby blocks at street level. New housing was proposed along St. Mary's Street to relate to the Catholic high schools. - Mike Greenberg
