<br />Chapter 2 <br /> <br />Sector Four Today <br /> <br />Transportation <br />Existing Thoroughfares <br />The existing system of streets and thoroughfares in Sector Four have developed in <br />response to historical development patterns and natural constraints in the area. The major <br />thoroughfares that serve to bring traffic into and through Sector Four are IH-35, Hopkins, <br />Cheatham Street, Centerpoint Road, McCarty Lane, Wonder World Drive, Guadalupe <br />Street, LBJ Drive, Riverside Drive and C.M. Allen Parkway. The remaining streets in <br />Sector Four are collectors that serve to move traffic within the area and to connect with <br />the major thoroughfares. Traffic pressure, especially along IH-35, is expected to grow in <br />the future. <br /> <br />State owned roads in Sector Four include IH-35, SH 12 (Hopkins), FM 3407 (Wonder <br />World Drive), and Loop 82 (Guadalupe Street and LBJ Drive). All other streets in the <br />sector are city owned and maintained. All traffic signals in Sector Four are owned and <br />maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation. <br /> <br />Traffic Volumes <br />The Environment and Engineering Department conducted traffic volume counts on city <br />owned streets in 1997.
