On Monday, the City of San Antonio Planning Department announced that it will conduct four virtual community meetings for the Bandera Corridor Plan. These Zoom meetings will take place from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. March 29-31, 2021. The fourth meeting will happen from noon to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 3, 2021. Residents are invited to discuss neighborhood connectivity, development standards, and land use along the use of Bandera Road.
Launched in 2019, the Bandera Road Corridor Plan is the first corridor plan developed under the guidance of the SA Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan which was adopted in 2016 by San Antonio City Council. The planning process and community outreach effort will culminate in the development of a multimodal transportation, future land use, economic development, and urban design plan for the Bandera Road Corridor from 410 to Loop 1604.
During these virtual meetings, the City will present an overview of the plan’s scope and goals, and community advocates will have an opportunity to discuss and share feedback.
“Anyone who lives, works, or travels along Bandera Road, especially during rush hour, understands the importance of this effort,” said District 7 City Councilwoman Ana Sandoval. “These virtual meetings are a great opportunity for us to share our progress and come together as a community to discuss the future of the Bandera Road Corridor.”

Community members, business owners, and stakeholders are invited to participate.
“The feedback and comments of those who live and work on or near Bandera Road are essential to our success in planning for the future of the corridor,” said Rudy Niño, Jr., AICP, assistant director of the Planning Department.
Opportunities to provide input for the corridor will be available during the meeting, through social media, and from an online survey platform. For Zoom login information for the virtual meetings, please visit the Planning Department’s website here.
