Selma approves TxDOT advanced funding agreement for Cibolo Creek Trail connection
Summary
The council passed Resolution 031325 to authorize an advanced funding agreement with TxDOT for a shared-use path connecting Evans Road across Cibolo Creek under I‑35 to Stage Park; the project cost was reported as about $1.015 million with a city share of $214,329.
The Selma City Council voted to pass Resolution 031325 authorizing the execution of an advanced funding agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for a Transportation Alternatives Set‑Aside (TASA) project to construct a shared‑use path along Cibolo Creek that will pass under Interstate 35 and link the existing trail at Evans Road to Stage Park.
Johnny, a city staff member, told the council that the Texas Transportation Commission awarded TASA funds through the San Antonio‑Bexar County MPO and that “the total project cost is $1,015,087” and that “only $214,329 is to be paid by the city.” The project was described as constructing a shared‑use path to improve bike and pedestrian connections and safety under IH‑35.
Council members praised the staff and local MPO representatives for securing the funding. Councilmember Haddis and Councilmember Pulasic were singled out during remarks for their roles with the metropolitan planning organization and technical advisory committee. A council member moved to pass the resolution; a motion was seconded (second by Councilmember Haddis as recorded in the meeting) and the measure passed on a voice vote.
The resolution authorizes the city to enter the next step of the TxDOT funding process; the advanced funding agreement execution was described as the immediate administrative step to secure the awarded TASA funds.
