Guadalupe County plans public hearings for major thoroughfare plan update

Guadalupe County commissioners have a new timeline for potentially updating their major thoroughfare plan that could help dictate future infrastructure in the region.

The timeline

The final draft of the proposed major thoroughfare plan update will be available for public review May 5. The first public hearing for the plan will take place May 19, Guadalupe County Assistant Engineer Barry Black said during an April 21 Commissioners Court meeting.

Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher said a second public hearing for the plan will be held June 2. Kutscher said the ending process will be determined by public input and changes requested from commissioners.

More details

A major thoroughfare plan is a long-range planning tool used for potential future roadways. The plan does not define the final alignment of roadways, nor does it construct roadways and acquire new property. Instead, the plan aims to identify general alignments and roadway classifications needed to accommodate transportation needs and facilitate mobility and connectivity, according to Guadalupe County's website.
