Collaboration and Impact
The Santa Fe Independent School District (SFISD) has been a key partner, facilitating communications and coordinating detours to maintain access to ISD-owned facilities. Additionally, local businesses, including HEB, Whataburger, and PNC Bank, have been active participants in pre-construction planning. Customer access to these businesses will be maintained throughout the project via two Highway 6 ingress/egress points to the shared parking lot, minimizing disruption.
