While the countywide transportation committee tasked with solving local traffic woes unanimously approved a policy statement last month, a couple of policy oversights were identified during last week’s meeting.
Kendall County, Boerne and Fair Oaks Transportation Committee member Northern Hendricks, who took on the task of compiling and keeping track of all recommendations, noted a policy recommendation urging local municipalities to prioritize roundabouts was missing from the draft reviewed last month. Ben Eldredge noted there was discussion about incorporating the city of Forth Worth as an example to incorporate policy stating intersection solutions that aren’t roundabouts should be justified rather than assumed.
Bobby Balli, who represents the viewpoint of Fair Oaks Ranch residents and was nominated to clean up the committee’s draft policy, noted that policy statements should be clear and concise.
