The Daughters of the Republic of Texas oppose the Del Alamo Plaza Project backed by the San Antonio Bicentennial Committee.

The proposal, funded by 450000 federal dollars, seeks to reface Alamo Plaza and front-yard changes ahead of a San Antonio City Council meeting at 9 30 a m Thursday. The DRT urges supporters to write Mayor Lila Cockrell.
