Key Findings

Supportive Network

The City of Temple’s central neighborhoods have a network of connected low-stress streets that provide a good foundation for walking or cycling. Many of the outlying residential areas to the west and south also contain low-stress local streets well suited for active transportation. However, several high-stress barriers exist that prohibit connectivity along the broader low-stress network, which are discussed more below.

Barriers to Access

As mentioned above, major regional thoroughfares such as I-35 and Loop 363 limit crossing to only a handful of streets to access central Temple. For example, between the north and south interchanges of I35 and Loop 363, there are five opportunities to cross I-35 from east to west, all of which are high-stress roadways which limit the number of the potential riding population that would feel comfortable crossing.
