<br />Sector Two <br /> <br />Chapter 2 - Today <br /> <br />Transportation <br /> <br />Existing Thoroughfares <br />The existing system of streets and thoroughfares in Sector Two have developed in <br />response to historical development patterns and natural constraints in the area. The major <br />thoroughfares that serve traffic into and through Sector Two are Bishop Street and Ranch <br />Road 12. The remaining streets in Sector Two are collectors that serve to move traffic <br />within the area and to connect with the major thoroughfares. Bishop Street presents a <br />unique planning challenge, since it serves as both a neighborhood street lined with houses <br />and a major thoroughfare that bisects the area. Ranch Road 12 serves as a regional <br />highway, funneling traffic through San Marcos. Traffic, especially along Ranch Road 12, <br />is expected to increase in the future. <br /> <br />All streets in Sector Two are city owned and maintained, with the exception of Ranch <br />Road 12, which is state owned and maintained. All traffic signals in Sector Two are <br />owned and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation. <br /> <br />Traffic Volumes <br />The Environment and Engineering Department periodically conducts traffic volume <br />counts on city-owned streets. Traffic volumes represent 24-hour weekday counts. The <br />traffic counts in Sector Two included: <br /> <br />Location <br />Bishop Street northwest of Hopkins Street <br />Craddock Ave south of Ranch Road 12 <br />Bishop Street southeast of Franklin Drive <br />Franklin Drive southwest of Ranch Road 12 <br />Franklin Drive northeast of Furman Avenue <br />Perkins Street southeast of Franklin Drive <br />Franklin Drive southwest of Bishop Street <br /> <br />Oct/Nov 1995 <br />8,368 <br />4,667 <br />4,085 <br />2,745 <br />1,113 <br />738 <br />144 <br /> <br />Nov 2000 <br />8,362 <br />6,475 <br />5,539 <br />3,333 <br />1 ,409 <br />999 <br />1,146 <br /> <br />The Texas Department of Transportation conducts traffic volume counts on state-owned <br />thoroughfares.
