At the State of the City address Mayor Greg Maxton reviewed a multi-year program of road reconstructions along with several local development projects.
The city manages nearly 60 miles of road and aims to keep a pavement condition index target of 85 or better. A voter-approved road bond funded reconstruction of four severely degraded road segments; Maxton said the Battle Intents segment was completed, the Deep Elkhorn reconstruction (design called "Veil Corn" in the presentation) is designed with 5-foot shoulders and should begin this summer and take more than 12 months, Ammon Road design is underway with construction anticipated in 2027, and Rolling Acres Trail design was approved with construction expected in 2028. The city also expects Old Fredericksburg Road reconstruction this summer via a cost-share with Bexar County (city responsible for one-third of the cost) and plans to annex that segment after completion.
On state-controlled projects, Maxton said TxDOT reported the Ralph Fair Road bridge over the Cibolo Creek should be finished in April and both lanes reopened. He summarized TxDOT’s long-range widening plan for Ralph Fair Road in two phases—one segment up to Old Paseo Way (six lanes with a turnaround) and a later segment toward State Highway 46 (four lanes with a center turn lane)—but noted neither phase is funded and construction is likely years away.
On development, Maxton said the city issued 44 new home permits last year (down from roughly 200 in prior peak years). He described two projects moving forward: Oak Bend Estates, a 110-home subdivision on one-acre lots on Ralph Fair Road where the developer agreed to reduce lot counts and protect cave openings; and Post Oak, a 330-acre project that the developer reduced from 645 to 227 lots and plans as custom one-acre homes in four phases. A separate Corley tract concept plan that included townhomes and commercial uses is currently held up by pending litigation over the land sale.
Maxton emphasized that future developments must comply with the city’s Unified Development Code and that planning decisions aim to preserve the city’s character.
