The Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) plans to operate this site
through August 2008. The information below represents
the latest and most recent information available on the
recommended corridor. Once the final study report is
completed, we will update the website one last time.
Current News:
TxDOT presented the recommended
corridor at a Town Hall Meeting held and advertised by
the City of New Braunfels and Comal County. The Town
Hall Meeting was held April 2, 2008, to provide an
additional opportunity for residents to view the
recommended corridor and discuss the criteria and the
process utilized to identify the recommendation. At this
meeting, TxDOT displayed the recommended corridor in
Sections A, B, C, D, E, and F (see location map and
links to display maps below). These displays were
created in order to allow participants the opportunity
to view the areas of most interest to them up close and
personal. These displays are provided here for your
viewing.
Please note that these
files are rather large and may take some time to
download.

In addition to the new
displays, TxDOT also provided the detailed screening
matrices for each section. The screening matrices were
utilized to compare the various options according to a
list of qualitative and quantitative measures, or
criteria. The criteria was based on six goals for the
study including a safety goal, mobility goal, economic
development goal, community and environmental goal, an
engineering goal, and a cost-effectiveness goal.
Screening matrices corresponding to the map sections
identified above are available below. To better
understand how each matrix criteria was evaluated, you
will first need to review the
Screening Matrix Key.

Next Steps for the Study
TxDOT is currently in the process of reviewing and
approving the New Braunfels Outer Loop Study Report.
TxDOT will also present the recommended corridor to the
City of New Braunfels, the City of Schertz, and
Comal/Guadalupe Counties. These entities will then have
the opportunity to accept the recommendation and adopt
it into their Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP). For more
information about next steps for the New Braunfels Outer
Loop, please contact your local city or county
government.
