As budget discussions are underway for fiscal year 2025-26, the city of New Braunfels Public Works Department is seeking input from residents on which city roads should receive funding and maintenance.

The approach

The City Council allocated $1.8 million to fund over 45 different roadway maintenance projects last year, ranging from preventative maintenance to complete roadway rehabilitation projects, according to a news release.

“Over the last five years, the City has taken on approximately $9 million in street maintenance projects along with nearly $200 million in roadway and drainage repairs approved by voters during bond elections in 2013, 2019 and 2023,” said Public Works Director Greg Malatek in the news release. “Each project is selected based on the necessity of the project along with input from New Braunfels residents.”

Get involved

The city posted an online forum Aug. 25 and will keep it open until Sept. 5. To complete the survey, visit www.newbraunfels.gov/streetsurvey. Information about streets and drainage in New Braunfels is available at www.newbraunfels.gov/streets.
