A thoroughfare plan identifies existing and proposed major roadways both within the city limits and the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). This plan ensures that as the community grows, key corridors remain functional and are preserved to safely  and efficiently move traffic across the city. The City Council adopted the 2025 Thoroughfare Plan Update on December 8, 2025, and it is effective January 1, 2026.
