TBX: The Plan Existing General Use Lanes Proposed Express Lanes Future Transit Corridor Proposed Express Lanes Existing General Use Lanes

A. Suburban Dream Imagine 2040 Growth Scenarios: B. Bustling Metro C. New Corporate Centers Expand the growth boundary to make room for new suburbs. Extend roads & water lines, rebuild major intersections. Create new town centers in older commercial areas. Add rapid bus, rail, circulator shuttles, walk/bike connections. Create new corporate parks along major highways. Add new express toll lanes in the interstates (I-4, I-75, I-275)
