Bexar County Less traffic has meant more progress for some public works projects, says Bexar County Director of Public Works Renee Green.
So, if we can minimize the negative impacts of doing this type of work on the traveling public, its a benefit for everybody, Green said.
A lack of school and light traffic has also allowed crews on a project along Evans Road between Bulverde Road and Wortham Oaks Boulevard to accelerate construction, Green said.
We were able to do that quite, quite quickly.However, Paul Berry, a spokesman for the San Antonio Public Works Department, said while the stay-home orders in the spring resulted in faster work on streets, sidewalks, and potholes, the city was not seeing much of a change in the progress its public works projects at the moment.
If some of the school districts choose to do offsite learning for maybe three weeks, then that gives us another three weeks, Green said.
