Cibolo City Council discusses rezoning, road improvements, and public safety initiatives

During the recent city council meeting held on March 25, 2025, Mayor Mark Allen highlighted several key developments impacting the Cibolo community. The meeting began with a proclamation honoring the Jay Washington fraternity, a local organization, reflecting the city’s commitment to recognizing community contributions.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to public hearings regarding the rezoning of properties on Borgfeld Road. The council discussed a proposal to convert a residential area to commercial use, which drew considerable public interest. Twenty-one members of the Burn Boot Camp attended the meeting, alongside 21 supportive emails read by the city secretary, indicating strong community backing for the rezoning effort.

City Manager Wayne Reid provided updates on various infrastructure projects. Notably, improvements to Dean Road will be funded equally by the city and DND, while enhancements to Green Valley Road are set to commence soon, covering areas from Dean Road to the Saratoga neighborhood. Additionally, plans for Town Creek Road are expected to kick off this summer, and discussions are ongoing with homeowners along Tolly Road regarding right-of-way agreements.

In a move to bolster public safety, the council approved a grant for the FY '25 SB 224 catalytic converter program. This initiative will fund two police officer positions, one crime analyst, and 41 automated license plate reader cameras, enhancing the city’s law enforcement capabilities.

The meeting also announced a chili cook-off scheduled for the upcoming weekend at Ernie's in historic downtown Cibolo, inviting community members to participate as judges.

As the council prepares for its next meeting on April 8, these discussions underscore ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure, public safety, and community engagement in Cibolo.
