History
edit
The paseo was developed in 1988 by the San José Redevelopment Agency, with the pedestrianization of San Antonio Street eastwards from Plaza de César Chávez.[1]
Paseo de San Antonio was laid out to serve as a pedestrian axis through central Downtown.[2] It has since become one of the most-utilized pedestrian spaces in Downtown, as a focal point for dining, events, and theatres.[3][4]

While the western portion of the paseo follows the former alignment of San Antonio Street, the paseo turns diagonally towards the southeast past 2nd Street.[5]
The Paseo de San Antonio station, on the VTA light rail, is located where the paseo meets 1st Street.
