| Purpose | The purpose of the public hearing is to present the proposed project to the public and receive comments. The project is proposing to expand approximately five miles of Loop 1604 from FM 78 to I 10 East in Bexar County, Texas. The virtual and in-person hearing will consist of he same narrated presentation by the project team, project exhibits and other information, and an opportunity to comment. Comments must be received on or before Oct. 15, 2021, to be a part of the official hearing record. |
| Description | The proposed project would expand Loop 1604 from a four-lane divided highway to four lane expressway with main lanes, frontage roads and sidewalks. The frontage road shoulders would accommodate bicyclists. The intersections of Loop 1604 with FM 78 and Lower Seguin Road would be reconfigured and new overpasses would be constructed at various cross streets. The project area includes a section of Loop 1604 located within the city limits of Converse and San Antonio. Proposed improvements would require approximately 51 acres of proposed right of way and would vary from 355 to 693 feet wide. The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain. |
