Where the Corridor Begins

The city end of the corridor.

On this site, La Cantera and The Rim are the city end of the corridor. They are the first stretch of I-10 northwest of the interchange, where San Antonio's premier shopping and entertainment district sits at the doorstep of every community this site covers: minutes from the outer communities rather than across town.

The area is the practical anchor of the corridor. Communities along I-10 from Leon Springs to Boerne share a highway that begins here, and the retail, dining, and entertainment base at this end of the route is the daily-life destination they all drive to. The corridor's geography starts at this interchange, and the line between the city and the corridor starts here too.

Scope for this site
Only the area outside Loop 1604, along I-10 from the interchange northwest toward Leon Springs. This includes La Cantera, The Rim, and The Dominion area. Everything inside Loop 1604 is out of scope as an area; it appears on this site only as a commute destination.

Jurisdiction

One city, one county.

City

City of San Antonio. The area is part of the city, and city limits apply throughout this section of the corridor.

Major Anchors

The destinations the corridor drives to.

These anchors are the shopping, dining, and entertainment base for the communities farther out the corridor, all at the interchange where I-10 meets Loop 1604.

La Cantera

A master-planned development on the northwest quadrant of the I-10 and Loop 1604 interchange, home to Six Flags Fiesta Texas and The Shops at La Cantera.

The Shops at La Cantera

An outdoor shopping center anchored by Neiman Marcus, Macy's, Dillard's, and Nordstrom.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

The corridor's amusement park, part of the La Cantera development.

The Rim

A large outdoor shopping and mixed-use development northeast of the interchange, outside the loop.

The Dominion

An established residential development along I-10 outside Loop 1604.

Leon Creek Greenway

A hike-and-bike trail with a trailhead at The Rim.

Transportation

I-10 carries the corridor.

Interstate 10 carries HOV lanes in both directions from Ralph Fair Road to La Cantera Parkway, covering much of the stretch this site serves. Corridor commuters use those lanes to move between the outer communities and the employment centers at and inside Loop 1604.

The Interchange

A five-level stack at the gateway.

The I-10 and Loop 1604 interchange is being rebuilt as a five-level stack interchange, with flyover connectors among the tallest highway ramps in Texas. The project is central to how the corridor's two main roads connect, and it shapes commutes for everyone who uses this gateway.

Commute Destinations Only

Where corridor residents commute to.

The South Texas Medical Center, UTSA's main campus, and the USAA and Valero headquarters are major employment centers at or inside Loop 1604. Under this site's scope, they are commute destinations for corridor residents, not areas this site describes or promotes. The corridor itself is the I-10 span northwest of the interchange, and the commute runs in both directions along it.

Daily Life

The daily-life base for the corridor.

This is the shopping, dining, and entertainment base that the communities farther out the corridor drive to, minutes from the outer communities rather than across town. For residents of Leon Springs, Fair Oaks Ranch, and Boerne, La Cantera and The Rim are the closest major retail and entertainment options on the route into San Antonio, and for this area's own residents they are the neighborhood base.
