Mayor Julián Castro announced Wednesday that he'll seek $30 million in the 2012 bond program to help build the northern connectors on the Loop 1604/U.S. 281 interchange on the North Side.
Castro said he wants to leverage the bond money to help build the ramps. The Alamo Regional Mobility Authority is currently building the southern half, connecting east- and westbound Loop 1604 to southbound U.S. 281.
The RMA has said that it would likely have to toll the northern connectors when they're built, but under Castro's plan, the new project would not be tolled.
