South Fort Sam Houston Study Area
GMP found that the study area has:
Pedestrian facilities that are incomplete, inadequate and inaccessible.
Neighborhood mobility links that are inadequate or nonexistent.
Public transportation that is inadequate. Activity centers that are lacking. Degraded housing and infrastructure, poor streetscapes and
poor lighting create an unsafe environment. No public libraries within the study area.

Major Findings/Recommendations:
1. Healthcare
BRAC will not have a detrimental affect on Level-1 trauma due to expansion of SAMMC-N and University Hospital.
Local hospitals will be able to assist the military with their clinical training but greater coordination is needed.
