Guidelines on Corridor Management and Preservation in Texas

Abstract

This report provides guidelines for how Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) districts and area offices can work together with local jurisdictions in corridor management and preservation (CM&P) activities for existing and future TxDOT roadways and corridors. Relative to the full 0-5606-1 research report, this document is intended to serve as a reference document for TxDOT offices involved with local jurisdictions in corridor management and/or corridor preservation activities. This report is intended for planners and engineers from TxDOT and local jurisdictions who coordinate and interact on planning and development matters within their respective jurisdictions. The document is written for TxDOT, cities, counties, and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) alike and provides general guidance on the use of policies, tools and techniques in CM&P that may help bridge the gap in integrating land use and transportation decision making. It stresses the importance of local-state coordination in the land development and planning processes and demonstrates that successful CM&P programs and projects will require ample coordination and partnerships between all entities. CM&P must be considered a process and integrated into local comprehensive plans and development ordinances, MPO plans and work programs, and TxDOT policy, project development, and design. Just as well-planned neighborhoods, retaining neighborhood integrity, and good schools are valuable traits of a community, so too are well-planned, well-managed, and aesthetically pleasing community corridors.
