15 developed miles sounded way off.
Just doing a bit of research, the part of the riverwalk that is developed in downtown SA is 2.5 miles and is a bypass off of the main river built for water to the missions originally and flood control later.

Heres a map, you can see clearly what was developed including the convention center expansion...

2.5 miles is pre expansion it is about 4 miles in the central core and extends to almost 15 miles, a li'l more than the first plans of 13 miles. The new sections are the Museum Reach, Mission Reach, Eagleland, Brackenridge-Zoo and Pearl Distict.
