Workers hoist a directional sign for the San Antonio Missions World Heritage Trail along Villamain Road on Friday.Residents and business owners in the neighborhoods near the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park have long asked for corridor improvements and pedestrian enhancements to Roosevelt Avenue.

Ybanez said the neighborhood association has fought against low-income apartments being developed in those areas and even against rental homes being built across the street from the visitor center at Mission San José.
