City makes parking and loading restrictions permanent near Long Creek High School

City transportation staff presented a traffic‑control and curb‑management plan developed with Comal Independent School District and police and recommended several permanent parking restrictions around Long Creek High School's new stadium.

Gary Ford, the city engineer, said the city identified residential streets most vulnerable to event spillover parking and implemented temporary restrictions under a 90‑day authorization prior to the first home game; "The parking restrictions were installed before the 1st home game," he said. Staff recommended permanent ordinance language that preserves resident parking where homes front the street and restricts parking where pedestrian or emergency access needs to be kept clear.

Council members discussed SRO support during events and the school's responsibility for certain capital improvements (such as traffic signals and sidewalk connections). With a motion and second on the floor, council approved the ordinance reading and made the parking restrictions permanent.
