42 Welcome to the SH 46 Public Meeting Kendall SPRING BRANCH 311 BEGIN PROJECT 3159 Bulverde UV 46 SMITHSON VALLEY 281 Comal BULVERDE RD END PROJECT SMITHSON VALLEY RD Bexar Scan this QR Code for more information or visit the TxDOT website and search for SH 46: SH 46 From Bulverde Rd to FM 3159

43 Project Information Bicycle and Pedestrian Federal funding could be used for construction of this project; therefore, federal guidelines for bike and pedestrian accommodations must be followed. For the length of this project a designated striped bicycle lane and a separate sidewalk will be provided. This improvement would increase safety for both cyclists and pedestrians, provide for alternative modes of travel, and provide ADA accessibility as required throughout. Drainage A major component of this project is mitigating drainage and storm water runoff. Engineers evaluate water flow direction and volumes to determine the best drainage solutions. There are two different types of drainage designs for this project. In some areas, drainage will be accommodated with grass lined ditches and culverts. In some areas curb and gutter with storm drains and underground storm sewer lines will be used. Hazardous Materials SH 46 is currently not a hazardous materials route and there is no intent to designate this as a hazardous materials route. This project is being designed to accommodate local growth and enhance safety and mobility. 11 Lane 5 Bike Lane Grass Lined Open Ditch 11 Lane 5 Bike Lane 6 Sidewalk Curb and Gutter 6 Sidewalk Sewer

44 Project Information Sight Considerations Due to the combination of the rolling terrain and sharp curves along SH 46, additional right of way will need to be acquired to improve sight distance. The improved sight distance will provide a safer roadway for vechicles traveling along this corridor. Retaining Walls Along some steeply sloped areas of this project, retaining walls will be used in an effort to minimize the purchase of new right-of-way and grading, while still providing improved sight visibility for traffic. Example of Curve Smoothing Medians The use of medians improves safety along roadways with large volumes of traffic by reducing conflicts of turning and crossing vehicles. Medians also allow for protected left turns without impeding traffic flow. Research has shown that raised medians, where implemented, have reduced severe (injury/fatal) crashes along urban/suburban roadways by 25-31%. Source: AASHTO Highway Safety Manual, 2010.

45 Why 6 Lanes? Short Term Needs/Long Term Design This project is being designed to address immediate safety and traffic operational needs and accommodate traffic for the next 20 years. In a project of this scope and size, it is not cost effective to design, plan, and construct a 4 lane road, knowing 6 lanes are currently needed. Traffic Volumes Below are projected traffic volumes along with a ranking of how they would operate. The Level of Service (LOS) is evaluated and ranked A (best) through F (worst). Growth According to the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, the population in Comal County is projected to increase from approximately 108,000 in 2010 to approximately 260,000 by 2040, a 140% increase. This project is being designed to accommodate current needs and future growth.

46 Why 6 Lanes? Reducing Delay at Traffic Signals The use of 6 lanes will allow more vehicles to pass through traffic signals more efficiently. The additional lane of traffic cuts down the queueing of cars and reduces delays at intersections along SH 46 versus a 4 lane intersection. Safety Improvements In the 6 lane configuration, the outside lane provides safer driveway access allowing for better deceleration and acceleration in and out of driveways. This still allows the inside 2 lanes to continue moving uninterrupted by the vehicles turning in and out of driveways. U-Turn Accessibility The additional lane allows for safe and efficient U-turns to be made. U-Turn Accessibility
