This change would show these interchanges. / , " Plan CleanUp .// ,~ ORIGINAL UPDATE Area T2: Although the City of College Station has no thoroughfare planning authority on the Texas A&M University campus, it is important that these roads are shown as they impact planning adjacent to the campus. This change would show these roadways. Thoroughfare Plan CleanUp AREA T2 ORIGINAL UPDATE Area T3: A recent comprehensive plan amendment was adopted for the area west of Wellborn Road (FM 2154), south of FM 2818, and north of Graham Road. As part of this plan, the section of SH 40 between Graham Road and FM 2818 was removed, but the proposed interchange associated with SH 40 at FM 2818 was not removed. Additionally, FM 2818 was shown to transition from a freeway to a major arterial at the SH 40 interchange location. With SH 40 removed, this transition should be moved to the Wellborn Road interchange location. These changes would remove the FM 2818/SH 40 interchange and move the thoroughfare transition along FM 2818 to Wellborn Road. Thoroughfare Plan CleanUp AREA T3 Area T4: Related to the changes stated in Area T3, the section of SH 40 between Wellborn Road and Graham Road was not removed. In addition, the proposed interchange associated with SH 40 was kept at Rock Prairie Road. These changes would remove the remaining SH 40 section and its associated interchange at Rock Prairie Road. Thoroughfare Plan CleanUp AREA T4 ~mmm ~ ~ Area T5: As the Shenandoah residential subdivision has been platted, city staff have worked with the developer to plat the extension of Alexandria Avenue to intersect with Decatur Drive rather than allow it to dead end as it is shown on the current thoroughfare plan. This change would reflect this thoroughfare extension. ~* ORIGINAL UPDATEI ... ..... ..,'.: . ~ .... f,., Area T6: The proposed Colgate Drive extension is located between Eastmark Drive and the SH6 frontage road just south of Southwest Parkway. After reviewing the location of the roadway and its intersection with the SH 6 frontage road, it was found that this location falls within the influence area of the SH 6 exit ramp. Locating a roadway in this influence area would provide the opportunity for drivers exiting the freeway to make a hazardous lane change maneuver to turn onto Colgate Drive. This change would remove the Colgate Drive extension.
