I-14 / Loop 214 Corridor Viewer

Compare only within a group. The I-214 loop bands run 44,499–53,859 acres; the I-14 approach bands run 15,685–29,150. Ranking a loop option against an approach segment compares different lengths of road and means nothing.

Addresses = 9-1-1 address points inside the full mile-wide band, end to end (county 911 / Texas CSEC, via I14AddressPoints) — one point per addressable location. Per 1k ac normalises for band size; lowest and highest mark the fewest and most addresses in each group. Ties are tagged together. These go by raw count, so read them alongside the density column — bands within a group are not the same size, and the approach bands vary widely.

An address point is a proxy for a developed property, not a building count: unaddressed outbuildings, barns and sheds are excluded, and addressed vacant parcels may be included. Apartments are counted per unit, but that barely affects these bands — multi-unit records run 0.1–0.4% on the loop routes and under 5% on the approaches.

These are not displacement counts. The final right-of-way is roughly 400 ft, about 8% of the band width, so actual displacements will be a fraction of these figures. Use them to compare alternatives, never as a count of homes taken.

Colors distinguish the routes compared in the table below; remaining alternatives are shown in muted tones.

Appraised value density Clipped to the corridors you have switched on — toggle a route and the surface follows it. Grid cells of summed appraised value ÷ summed parcel acres; each parcel is spread over its own footprint, so a 1,000-acre ranch reads thin and a platted subdivision reads hot.

Also follows the SH 6 Alignment Study area when that layer is on.

Addresses = address points in the full mile-wide band end to end. Both are comparative figures for a mile-wide study corridor, not displacement counts — the final ROW is roughly 400 ft, about 8% of the band width. Fwy = regulatory floodway acres crossed.

TxDOT's SH 30 at the Navasota River project — 2.9 mi, three 1958 bridges replaced, letting scheduled 2027 — falls inside five conceptual alternatives: C4 (66% of its length), E4 (59%), and C1/C2/C6 (35% each). C3 and C5 do not overlap it.

Published section: four lanes with a centre two-way left-turn lane, 10 ft shoulders, 120–200 ft of right of way, at-grade access retained.
