Project of the Year Award for Small Cities” for the successful completion of the Alamo Canal
Trail/I-580 Undercrossing project. This new APWA award for 2013 was created for agencies
from cities or counties with a population of 75,000 or less to promote excellence in
demonstrating creativity, ingenuity, and efficiency in the delivery of public works projects that
have had a profound impact on the community. Although small in size and cost, the Alamo
Canal Trail project was nominated because of its positive impact on the community by closing
the trail gap underneath the I-580 freeway, encouraging bicycling and walking, and promoting a
healthier lifestyle.
