VIVA LAREDO PLAN ALIGNMENT
Alignment Rating: Strong
Supporting goal(s)/policy(ies):
Goal 4.5 - Future Thoroughfare Plan
Goal 4.2 - Complete Streets
Goal 4.4 - Improve Connectivity
Summary of alignment:
The proposed adoption of the updated Future Thoroughfare Plan as Appendix D demonstrates Strong alignment with the Viva Laredo Comprehensive Plan. The strongest basis is Goal 4.5, which expressly directs the City to implement the Future Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed Council action is therefore an implementation measure contemplated directly by the Comprehensive Plan rather than merely an action that is generally consistent with its transportation objectives.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The Future Thoroughfare Plan is reviewed periodically and revised as deemed necessary. The Future Thoroughfare Plan was last updated in September 2025 (Resolution 2025-R-204) as an amendment to Appendix D of the City 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 arterial and collectors using a functional classification system based on the intended network function.
