Summary of alignment:
The agenda item demonstrates a strong alignment with the Viva Laredo Comprehensive Plan. By adopting an updated Future Thoroughfare Plan as Appendix D, the resolution satisfies the plan's requirement for regular updates (Policy 4.1.4), supports an integrated and connected mobility network (Policy 4.2.1), and prepares infrastructure to accommodate long-term growth (Policy 6.1.1).
The plan revisions-identified in Exhibits A through H-include new arterials, realignments, and the designation of industrial collectors and multiway boulevards. These changes promote broader planning themes such as sustainable growth, regional coordination, enhanced mobility, infrastructure readiness, and fiscal stewardship.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The Future Thoroughfare Pan is reviewed periodically and revised as deemed necessary. The Future Thoroughfare Plan was last updated in September 2024 (Resolution 2024-R-302) as an amendment to Appendix D of the City of Laredo Comprehensive Plan of the City of Laredo. The Thoroughfare Plan was updated to ensure that the future mobility network would contain a reasonably dense network of continuous routes. The Future Thoroughfare Plan identifies arterials and collectors using a functional classification system based on the intended network function.
