SAN ANGELO, TX— San Angelo has been awarded just over $9 million in federal grant money that will support the North Chadbourne Project, making the street safer and easier to walk, drive and move on.
The City of San Angelo has been awarded $9.3 million in federal funding to improve pedestrian and transit access on the city’s north side. The money comes from the 2025 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside program, which is administered by TxDOT. Only 73 of 226 projects statewide were funded, and the $9.3 million has been ranked as the eighth-largest in Texas.
What the project will do:
The funding supports the Chadbourne Corridor Community Accessibility Project, aimed at making streets safer and easier to use for pedestrians, transit riders and people with disabilities. It builds on a similar project approved in 2023 that is scheduled to begin construction in January 2026.
Key improvements include:
- New 6-foot-wide ADA-accessible sidewalks
- Pedestrian lighting and accessible curb ramps
- Upgraded bus stops with pads, benches, shelters, and ramps
- Drainage improvements to protect sidewalks and walkways
Where the work will happen?
Improvements will be made along:
- North Chadbourne Street (29th to 43rd streets)
- 43rd Street (North Chadbourne to Coliseum Drive)
- Coliseum Drive (43rd to North Chadbourne streets)
- 39th Street (North Chadbourne to Goliad Elementary School)
The total project cost is around $11.6 million, of which the federal funding provided will cover 80%. The other 20% will come from local funding. Letters of support came in from the San Angelo Independent School District, TLCA, Downtown San Angelo Inc., the Concho Valley Transit District and other organizations.
The design phase is already underway and is expected to finish by May 2027 as construction must begin within two-and-a-half years after the funding agreement has been finalized.
