San Antonio will ask voters for $250 million bond to cover Project Marvel street and highway upgrades


San Antonio residents could be in store for 15 years of intense downtown road construction as part of the proposed $4 billion Project Marvel sports-and-entertainment district, according to a Wednesday presentation to City Council. During that briefing, staffers also said the city is considering asking voters to approve a $250 million bond to help fund those improvements. City staff highlighted those details as part of a presentation on infrastructure upgrades around Hemisfair and surrounding neighborhoods affected by Project Marvel, a massive city-center remake that would include an expansion of the convention center, renovations to the Alamodome and a new downtown Spurs arena, among other things.
