| Purpose | The purpose of the meeting is to gather public input and provide information about the proposed project to improve SH 16 (Bandera Road) from I-410 to Loop 1604 within the cities of Leon Valley and San Antonio in Bexar County, Texas. |
| Description | The goals of the project are to improve mobility, safety, and community connectivity while reducing congestion on the SH 16 (Bandera Road) corridor and to accommodate multimodal transportation including bicyclists and pedestrians. As a result of a data-driven process and public input, TxDOT, in collaboration with the cities of Leon Valley and San Antonio, is recommending improving 6.5 miles of SH 16 (Bandera Road). The proposed project would expand the roadway from an existing four to six-lane divided road to an eight-lane parkway with signalized restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) intersections as well as shared-use paths for bicyclists and pedestrians adjacent to both sides of the roadway. The SH 16 (Bandera Road) existing right-of-way width varies from 168 to 270 feet. The proposed roadway improvements would result in a right-of-way width that varies from 173 to 270 feet. The proposed project would require additional right of way and potentially displace nine non-residential structures, subject to change. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and businesses. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and construction can be obtained from the TxDOT district office by calling TxDOT’s right-of-way project manager at 210-615-5850. |
| Accessibility | The virtual public meeting and in-person open house will be conducted in English, with Spanish materials available online and in-person. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the virtual public meeting or in-person open house, please contact the project consultant at 210-349-3273 no later than 4 p.m. CT, Monday, Feb. 3, 2025. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange. |
