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.
Meyer Ranch Unit 13 Road Acceptance
The county accepted roads and drainage in the Preserve at Elm Creek Unit 2 into its maintenance system, with a two-year maintenance bond from New Braunfels covering construction damage while homes are built.
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.
Road & Bridge Department Season Funding and Overtime
The county approved budget transfers to fund paving season overtime, equipment barn expansions, and weed control materials for the Road & Bridge Department.
Railroad Crossing Safety Upgrades
A resident raised safety concerns regarding visibility and rolling stops at the Orion railroad crossing following a fatal accident.
