Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Comal County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Krueger Canyon Road Development Agreement & Safety Improvements
A development agreement with CEMEX will replace a dangerous stretch of Krueger Canyon Road — 50-foot right of way, heavy truck traffic, two 90-degree turns, and low-water crossings — with a modern 80-foot right-of-way, 24-foot pavement road built to the county's new subdivision standards. The county pays up to 30% of construction cost and vacates the old segment.
High-Water Warning System Power Upgrades
Comal County and New Braunfels are pooling $1.25 million in state flood money to add sirens and unify the warning network from Canyon Lake through New Braunfels, Seguin, and Guadalupe County. The county takes over maintaining the city's high-water warning system and gains a city-funded technician plus 50% cost-share on equipment.
Johnson Way Road Dedication and Assessment
The county initiated statutory procedures to take over maintenance of a portion of Johnson Way in Bulverde after a $175,000 developer contribution.
Railroad Crossing Safety Upgrades
A resident raised safety concerns regarding visibility and rolling stops at the Orion railroad crossing following a fatal accident.
Blanco Road Needs Study and Surveying
Comal County is moving forward with surveying and planning along Blanco Road to address future traffic and safety needs. The county approved a contract amendment with Poznecki-Camarillo to map property boundaries for the project.
State Highway 46 and FM 3159 Overpass Support
The county adopted a resolution supporting TxDOT's planned $39 million overpass project at State Highway 46 and FM 3159. This project aims to address future traffic congestion along a heavily traveled corridor in western Comal County.
