TxDOT established a new process for local unique conditions
TxDOT Project Development Process Manual [revisions in blue]
Subsection 1000
“For urban projects, particularly capacity improvements, the need for a project may be determined from traffic modeling of future travel demands as well as from the need for a sustainable street and transit network associated with… urban design established in regional plans, comprehensive plans, neighborhood plans, other local plans, special district plans, relevant public-private partnerships or economic development plans.”
Subsection 1330The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) have developed a proposed recommended practice …. Those resources and the other resource materials listed below shall provide guidance for the CSS process.
