The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization played host to a meeting at Kronkosky Place on Monday, and the growth hitting the Hill Country may lead to the organization reaching further into the “rural” areas of the county.

The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization played host to a meeting at Kronkosky Place on Monday, and the growth hitting the Hill Country may lead to the organization reaching further into the “rural” areas of the county.

During the relatively short meeting, which was to present the organization’s Mobility 2050 and 2023-26 transportation improvement plans, AAMPO Director Sid Martinez noted Kendall County is expected to reach a population of 157,844 by 2050. According to AAMPO projections, the San Antonio-Austin region is projected to become another Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex during the next 30 years.

“As the region grows together, we’re going to need to find ways to move people throughout that I-35 corridor,” Martinez said. “If we’re going to find a way to reduce congestion in the future, especially as our population continues to grow, we need to make sure people understand the alternatives they have as they continue to drive from home to work every day.”
