A blueprint for MY 35

Regional leaders meet Wednesday to develop plan for corridor


New Braunfels — Regional leaders are meeting monthly as part of a new citizen-driven planning effort to develop a blueprint of improvements for the Interstate 35 corridor.

The Austin/San Antonio area, which is represented by the IH-35 Corridor Segment Committee Three, will meet Wednesday in New Braunfels to continue to identify regional needs and potential solutions for the corridor.

Once the segment committee completes its regional blueprint, it will collaborate with the IH-35 Corridor Advisory Committee, as well as other corridor segment committees, to consolidate each regional blueprint into a comprehensive, long-range mobility plan for the entire IH-35 corridor. 

Dubbed MY 35, it is hoped this effort will result in a plan that reflects the interests and concerns of citizens for the corridor.

MY 35 calls for a citizens’ perspective on IH-35 improvements including identifying corridor needs, conducting public outreach efforts, collaborating with the public and local stakeholders and creating regional transportation blueprints. 

The MY 35 effort blueprint will be given to TxDOT to guide future corridor development. 

All corridor segment committee meetings are open to the public.

A complete listing of corridor advisory committees, members and meetings is available online by visitingwww.keeptexasmoving.com.

Wednesday’s meeting will be at the TxDOT Area Office, 4102 IH-35 South, New Braunfels from 9 a.m. to noon.
