BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) adopted as a component of the City's Comprehensive Master Plan generally identifies the location for major roads within San Antonio and its extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The MTP assures an adequate transportation network that works to move people, goods, and services in an optimal and efficient manner through right-of-way dedication for future roads. The MTP was adopted by City Council through Ordinance No. 49818 on September 21, 1978. The MTP has been amended several times through the years to calibrate and realign the thoroughfares along with development of the greater San Antonio metropolitan area. The MTP is generally built as development occurs.
In 1985, the City of San Antonio amended the Major Thoroughfare Plan through Ordinance No. 6132 to designate the segment of Marbach from Loop 1604 to the Bexar County line.
In 2006, the City of San Antonio amended the Major Thoroughfare Plan through Ordinance No. 2006-03-23-398 to designate the segment of the North/South Connector between Potranco Road and Marbach Road as a Secondary Arterial Type A requiring 86 feet of right-of-way.
