VIVA LAREDO PLAN ALIGNMENT
Alignment Rating: Moderate
Supporting goal(s)/policy(ies):
Policy 7.3.3 - “Improve existing and new streetscapes so that traffic speeds are reduced and pedestrians’ and cyclists’ comfort and safety is increased.”
Summary of alignment:
The High Density Mineral Bond project supports the Viva Laredo Comprehensive Plan by contributing to the long-term preservation, safety, and functionality of the City’s roadway network. Although the Plan does not explicitly call for specific pavement preservation treatments, it establishes a clear municipal responsibility for maintaining safe, accessible, multimodal streets and stresses that roadway degradation can undermine community vibrancy and mobility. The HDMB treatment aligns with this intent by extending pavement life, improving surface conditions, and enhancing overall roadway performance in a way that indirectly supports multimodal safety.
