The Trailist: What makes David Bemporad's map unique is its ease of use and its view of the greenways as both a recreational space and a way to get around.
“Outstanding!” one cyclist, Richard Castanon, wrote in the comments. “I’ve ridden about 90% of those trails and identifying the gaps was always a chore utilizing city trail maps. This makes for much easier planning and I think entices all of us to attempt riding them all.”
Bemporad’s design isn’t the first or only map of San Antonio’s massive greenway trail network. The City of San Antonio maintains a map that it updates regularly after adding new trail miles. But what makes Bemporad’s map unique is its ease of use and its transit-oriented approach — viewing the greenways as not only a recreational space but a way to get around.
“It changed my life,” he said. “I was convinced by some of the smartest people I’ve ever had the privilege of working for, the way you make an impact is working in local government if you want to see the world become a more equitable, more sustainable place.” “They’re lifelong friends now,” he said. “As much as the bike map was something that I just wanted to make, I wanted to make it for them.
Bemporad’s up-close view of San Antonio’s ongoing trail build-out also led to a deep respect for local government staff working behind the scenes, often with little credit. “We are excited that the greenway trails have generated such excitement and support in the community, and that they’ve inspired the creation of new maps, postings and other material on the web,” Ross said.
