City Manager Erik Walsh spoke about the Broadway dispute during a discussion on topics of interest to local real estate professionals.
The Texas Department of Transportation reclaimed a 2.2-mile stretch of Broadway after handing it over to the City of San Antonio more than six years ago. TxDOT is expected to notify city leaders of its plans for the stretch of road in March.The fate of a key stretch of Broadway Street that the state voted to retain control over in January could be known within two weeks.
One of the hallmark projects of the 2017 bond, improvements to a portion of Broadway south of I-35 have been ongoing with the city already having spent $3 million on revamping that stretch of roadway, Walsh said. Beyond Broadway, Walsh addressed a longer-term problem facing the city: the rate of growth beyond city limits and the city’s inability to annex those areas in order to develop the needed infrastructure. A state law passed in 2019 requires landowner or voter approval for most annexations.
Airport officials had the chance this week to show off those plans during the annual air transportation conference, Routes America, hosted for the first time in San Antonio. Walsh said the 2040 master plan for the airport is not that different from plans formulated in 2010 and 2000 that were never implemented. This time, there’s money coming from the Federal Aviation Administration for terminal redevelopment, and passenger growth justifies acting now.
