The Texas Department of Transportation is hosting a public meeting, Thursday, October 22, to discuss the planned expansion of State Highway 46 between Esser Road and Amman Road. The meeting will take place 5-7 p.m. at the Boerne Civic Center, 820 Adler Road.
This meeting may be of particular interest to families of students who attend Champion High School and Cibolo Creek Elementary School, as this stretch of Highway 46 is a major traffic artery leading to those campuses. Some families of students who attend Boerne Middle School North and Boerne High School may also be impacted by this project.
The public open house is being conducted to provide information about the proposed project and gather input from the public, according to an announcement from the Texas Department of Transportation.
Proposed project improvements are needed due to high traffic counts and congestion, the TxDOT announcement states. The project would expand Highway 46 from a two-lane to a four-lane road with two-way left turn lanes and medians. The proposed improvements also includes constructing bike lanes and sidewalks. Acquisition of right-of-way is anticipated for the proposed project.
Questions or comments may be directed to Richard De La Cruz, project manager, (210) 615-6434 or Richard.DeLaCruz@txdot.gov. To request project updates or provide commentsl, please send an email to SH46Boerne@blantonassociates.com with 'SH 46 Improvements' in the subject line.
