Description:

The proposed project would realign S. Zarzamora St. within the project limits to construct a grade separation over the Frio City Rd./UPPR intersection.  The project would require the acquisition of ROW, including the partial acquisition of nine parcels, complete acquisition of nine parcels, and temporary construction easements at nine parcels.  Approximately six commercial and two residential displacements are proposed, including displacement of Nogalitos Gear Transmission Service, San Antonio Auto Glass, Ozuna’s Automotive, Oscar’s Taco House, El Comalito, a vacant commercial warehouse, and two single-family residences.

From Jennings Ave. to Humble Ave./Walton Ave., the proposed project would remove the existing center left-turn lane, add a southbound left-turn lane, and replace the existing bike lane and sidewalk on the east side of the roadway with a shared-used path. In this section, S. Zarzamora St. would typically consist of two at grade 10- to 11-ft travel lanes in each direction, a 0- to 13-ft southbound left-turn lane, a 5-ft bike lane and 6-ft sidewalk on the west side of the roadway, and a 10-ft shared-use path on the east side of the roadway.  A traffic signal would be added at Jennings Ave., which is currently an unsignalized intersection.

From Humble Ave./Walton Ave. to Harriman Pl., northbound and southbound overpasses would be constructed to provide grade separation over the UPRR crossing. The overpasses would consist of two bridges (northbound and southbound bridges), each with two 12-ft travel lanes and a 10-ft shared-use path.  In this section, S. Zarzamora St. would be realigned, which would result in the permanent closure of Walton Ave., E. Thompson Pl., and Barrett Pl. from Phyllis St. to the existing S. Zarzamora Street.  At-grade S. Zarzamora St. would consist of one 12-ft travel lane in each direction, with a 10-ft shared-use path on both sides of the roadway. Approaching Frio City Rd., an 11-ft, northbound, left-turn lane would be provided, and the existing Frio City Rd. signalized intersection would be reconfigured.   In addition, an access road would be constructed on the west side of S. Zarzamora St. from Humble Ave. to Barrett Pl., which would consist of one 12-ft travel lane in each direction, with a 6-ft outer sidewalk.  On Phyllis St., a 5-ft sidewalk would be added to the west side of the roadway from Walton Ave. to Barrett Pl.  On Harriman Pl., 5-ft sidewalks, curb, and pedestrian rail would be added to both sides of the roadway.

From Harriman Pl. to US 90, the proposed project would replace the existing sidewalks with shared-use paths.  In this section, S. Zarzamora St. would typically consist of three 12-ft travel lanes in each direction, a 2- to 13-ft raised median, and 10- to 24-ft shared use paths on both sides of the roadway.  East of S. Zarzamora St., the existing travel lane on Darby Blvd. would be narrowed, and a 6-ft sidewalk would be added to the south side of the roadway.  West of S. Zarzamora St., Darby Blvd. would terminate at a proposed cul-de-sac and Darby Blvd. would no longer have direct through access across S. Zarzamora Street. On the US 90 eastbound exit ramp (west of S. Zarzamora St.), a 12-ft right-turn lane would be added.

Proposed work south of Jennings Ave. and north of US 90 would be limited to pavement markings and mill and overlay.

The project would also include drainage improvements, signalized intersection upgrades, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, utility replacements and adjustments, and bus route adjustments within the project limits.  In addition, signing, pavement markings, illumination, and the construction of retaining walls would be included, where appropriate.  Drainage improvements would include the installation of storm sewer pipe and curb inlets.  The project would also involve VIA bus stop relocations.
