The Link - connecting the San Antonio River Walk and the San Pedro Creek Culture Park

[Spoiler]

Relatively speaking, downtown San Antonio is a desolate wasteland, but it does have one really good gimmick, which is that there are a number of below street level passageways. Mostly they are along the river, and the two river extensions, and the bypass channel, but now also along the creek, and don't forget the paseo that goes through the Hyatt Regency to the Alamo. These passageways are attractive and functional and you can walk to many destinations using them. Some newer construction has created river level courtyards as well, which there should be more of. There should be more River Level in general downtown, and that's why the Link is being proposed, not because it's difficult to use street level, but because River Level is a massively successful gimmick which city and county leaders are correct in believing should be leveraged to the hilt.
