Once bitten, twice shy.
San Antonio business owners fear VIA's Green Line will experience construction delays, but officials with the transit authority said they want the project to move quickly while minimizing harm.Earlier this month, prominent San Antonio business owners — some still smarting from long-delayed construction on the North St. Mary's Strip — tweeted out fears that VIA Metropolitan Transit's new Advanced Rapid Transit Plan may end in similar disaster.
San Antonio restaurant mogul Chad Carey, whose restaurants Double Standard and Hands Down also lie close to the Green Line, tweeted that he wouldn't trust San Antonio City Manager Erik Walsh and Mayor Ron Nirenberg with running a Valero gas station, much less managing another major construction project.
Peña attributed the closures of at least two other businesses — nightclub El Ojo and dining spot Wurst Behavior — to the construction debacle. "It's going to be changing the way San Antonians move," Herrera said."Having this type of system as the core piece of our community is just going to be a tremendous asset and tremendous value for everyone."
"We would have renewed our lease if it hadn't been for the construction," Peña said, who ultimately made the tough call to shut down Squeezebox and open a new bar and restaurant, Gimme Gimme, in Southtown. " should take a look at that list," Havrda said."They don't have to, but we already have a heads up that this could be a company that doesn't live up to your standards."
What's more, the Green Line work won't be comparable to the upheaval caused by city projects on St. Mary's and nearby Broadway, which tore up sections of streets and left them impassable, Herrera pledged. It also won't include the sewage and utility work that led to deep delays on the Strip and primarily will occur along 26 proposed stations along the route.
