If you’ve been frustrated with delayed road repairs, slow park upgrades, or stalled drainage projects, you’re not alone. The City of San Antonio just announced a major shakeup: the Public Works Department will split into two separate divisions. 

The new Capital Delivery Department will handle large projects like street expansions, drainage, and parks, while the remaining Public Works team will focus on day-to-day operations. 

Why the Change? 

San Antonio has faced years of lagging timelines and missed project deadlines. With billions in bond dollars already committed to infrastructure, city leaders want projects delivered faster and more efficiently. 

What This Means for Neighborhoods 

Faster project delivery benefits: 

• Homeowners who have waited for neighborhood street upgrades 

• Buyers looking for homes in areas slated for new parks or drainage fixes 

• Developers investing in San Antonio’s growth corridors 

The move could also help keep up with population growth, since San Antonio remains one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.
