Sidewalks, Inc. builds sidewalks in the City of San Antonio, Texas, through a cooperative effort of volunteers and donations of money and material resources. It began its work in 2006. The intention is to increase mobility within neighborhoods that have long suffered from the lack of infrastructure or dilapidated infrastructure.

Sidewalks are built in front of homes where residents are of low or moderate income. To date,10 sidewalk projects have been completed, all benefiting someone who is eldery or disabled/physically challenged, near a bus route and near an elementary school.

Projects selected must meet more than one of the following priorities:

  • In front of homes of people who are disabled/physically challenged
  • In front of homes of the elderly
  • On bus lines
  • Near Schools
  • On routes from residential neighborhood to commercial resources

All sidewalks are built within the requirements on permitting of the Unified Development Code of the City of San Antonio. Sidewalks, Inc. sees itself as a “Friend of The Public Works Department of the City of San Antonio”. The immediate focus is on sidewalks in length of about 50 feet, which is the standard size of a lot. Sidewalks, Inc. is a non-profit and funding is limited, therefore not all applications submitted are guaranteed a sidewalk.

If you are interested in applying please fill out the nomination form.

San Antonio Public Library (SAPL) and the City of San Antonio’s Department of Human Services (DHS) are piloting a new free device lending program aimed at improving digital literacy and fostering connection.

The Device Lending Program for Older Adults will allow Bexar County residents ages 60 years or older to check out a free iPad from one of five DHS-managed senior centers throughout the city. Borrowers can keep the device at home for up to six months to help them connect with friends and family, browse the internet, connect with a health care provider, engage in leisure activities, and use mobile apps.

A personal internet connection is not required as the devices will come with a free wireless cellular connection to access the internet.

“San Antonio Public Library is committed to bridging the digital divide for everyone in San Antonio,” said Ramiro S. Salazar, Director, San Antonio Public Library. “This program underscores the Library’s dedication to equipping older adults not only with vital 21st century resources, but also to services that connect them with friends, family, and loved ones in new and meaningful ways.”

Among the many benefits of using a digital device, borrowers will be able to access millions of digital resources available through SAPL including eBooks, eAudiobooks, music, movies, and online databases.

For more information, call 210-207-2500 or chat with library staff at ask.mysapl.org. For information on other library programs and services, visit mysapl.org.

Devices will be available for check-out beginning October 5 from these DHS senior centers:

  • Normoyle Senior Center, 700 Culberson, 78211
  • West End Park Senior Center, 1226 N.W. 18th St., 78207
