NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN
The Transportation Department is processing an amendment to the Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP). The MTP is a component of the City’s Comprehensive Plan that generally identifies the location for major roads within the San Antonio metropolitan area. The MTP assures a transportation network that works to move people, goods, and services in an efficient manner through right-of-way dedication for future roads. The MTP was adopted on September 21, 1978 by City Council Ordinance No. 49818. The MTP has been amended several times over the years to calibrate and realign the thoroughfares along with development of the greater San Antonio metropolitan area. The MTP is generally built as development occurs.
Summary:
The Transportation Department is processing a city-initiated amendment to provide for East/West connectivity within the southern portion of our City. The proposed amendments would improve connectivity from Loop 410 to Pleasanton Road, provide connectivity from IH 35 to IH 37, especially in areas where it does not exist, and appropriately classify these connectors which determines right-of-way dedication.

Proposed Amendments with Maps:
- Classify the East / West Connector from IH 35 to IH 37 as a Freeway 250' - 500' and name "South Texas Parkway"
- Alignment will follow the current alignment from IH35 S to just east of SH 16. This will require the increase in classification from “Enhanced Secondary Arterial 120’-142’” to “Freeway 250’-500’”
- From a point east of SH 16 along Lone Star Pass: creation of an alignment of the “Freeway” to an intersection point on Blue Wing Road.
- Alignment will follow the current alignment along Blue Wing Road and continue following the same alignment until IH37. This will require the increase in classification from “Super Arterial Type A 200’-250’” to “Freeway 250’-500’”
- De-classify the Kelly Parkway / Mauermann alignment from south of Loop 410 to Pleasanton Road from a “Super Arterial Type A 200’-250’” to a “Secondary Arterial Type A 86’” and moving the alignment to follow Mauermann Road to Pleasanton Road.
