A Boerne bond issuance certainly will now appear on the November ballot as the city council formally called for the election during a special meeting Tuesday night. Parks and road improvements are being prioritized in the $36 million measures.
Less than a week before the deadline, the Boerne City Council formally called the election for the proposal, which will be broken down into two measures – or “buckets” – for Boerne residents to vote on. A $23 million road infrastructure measure would include a complete rehaul and widening of Adler Road and other general road and intersection improvements, and a $13 million parks measure would cover the cost of developing Northside Community Park along with more minor improvements to other city parks.
During the roughly yearlong process leading up to the election call, city staff presented about $70 million worth of projects for city councilmembers to consider and prioritize. Unsurprisingly, road improvements weighed heavy, and Assistant City Manager Kristy Stark said Adler Road and these other road improvements could almost bring the city’s pavement condition index to its target.
