Public Domain - As a growing part of Portico's interest in community service, we are committed to the built environment. Above, Portico and its members, illustrate an example of our commitment to the public domain. It has used its own resources and channeled thousands of pro bono hours into re-shaping the street-scape. Examples of this are illustrated above in ‘before’ and ‘after’ (top) photos of the East Johnson-King William utility conversion pilot project spear-headed by Portico. Awareness of the pilot project brought Roy Pachecano of Portico together with other residents to form a Utility Conversion Committee. With the political support of Mary Alice Cisneros (District 1) and City Council, funding for Phase 1 was approved by the City of San Antonio in 2009 where residents enjoy a pole-free environment in the King William Park. Construction in King William Park was completed in 2011. [image above]
