Sink the Sunken Garden? Nearby residents object to renovation plans
https://sanantonioreport.org/sunken-...ood-objection/
Plans to revitalize the aging Sunken Garden Theater with millions in 2022 bond money have drawn fire over the potential impact to surrounding neighborhoods and Brackenridge Park.
As part of its overall renovation plans, the Brackenridge Park Conservancy has proposed a $62 million renovation for the 92-year-old outdoor theater, which has fallen into neglect in recent years. The plan would increase capacity at the venue from 4,800 to 7,000, for up to 60 concerts annually.
Residents of the nearby River Road neighborhood, including representatives of the River Road Neighborhood Association (RRNA), have spoken out publicly against the proposal, characterizing it as “damaging,” “a bad idea,” “a huge mistake and waste of money.” They also claimed that it “will severely and fatally impact our quiet community,” and called the project “an existential threat to the peace and tranquility of River Road residents and their property.”

City staff first recommended dedicating $25 million in bond funds to the project, then reduced the amount to $10 million, which was further reduced to $5 million in the committee’s final recommendation.
I'm sorry, but Fuck these people.
