Five students had approximately three months to complete an existing conditions report highlighting the conditions of mobility and infrastructure throughout the University East Corridor. The study sites perimeter streets are University Drive, Texas Avenue, and University Drive, Frontage Road West

Served by both Aggie Spirit and BTD routes.
BTD has 3 routes that run through the area.
Maroon Yellow Purple
TAMU has 1 route that runs through the area

Water & Sewer Lines
A mix of old and new lines
Primarily composed of distribution and gravity mains
5 fire mains throughout the corridor

Fire Hydrants & Street Lights
67 total fire hydrants within the University Corridor
No part of any structure above ground tanks or fueling station can be more than three hundred ft. (300’) from a fire hydrant, and any commercial building must be within one hundred and fifty ft. (150’) arc point from where a fire apparatus can operate
Total of 269 Cobra Head (183) Security (67) Decorative (15) Flood (1)

Recommendations
Mobility More stringent pedestrian and bicycle improvements
throughout new developments within University Corridor Cooperation between TAMU and BCS transit for
multimodal opportunities Infrastructure
Water and Sewer infrastructure will meet future demand of University Drive West (Northgate District)
