Public comment and county notice: draft Major Thoroughfare Plan unveiling Sept. 23; resident thanks court after Seguin drops Cordova extension
Summary
A resident told commissioners that City of Seguin staff informed her the Cordova extension was removed from the Seguin Transportation Mobility Master Plan after public opposition; commissioners announced the county will unveil its draft Major Thoroughfare Plan on Sept. 23 for public review and comment.
Millie Watson, a longtime Guadalupe County voter, used the citizens‑to‑be‑heard portion of the Sept. 16 Commissioners Court to tell the court she and other area residents oppose the proposed Cordova extension. Watson said she supplied County leadership with a petition she said contains 523 Guadalupe County voter signatures opposing the extension and told the court she was informed by a City of Seguin project director that the Cordova thoroughfare had been removed from Seguin’s master plan.
“Mr. Martinez told me that the Cordova extension is being removed from the city’s master plan,” Watson told the court, and she thanked commissioners for listening and for what she described as the court’s willingness to support affected residents in Laguna Vista.
County staff and commissioners later used the announcements portion of the meeting to invite the public to a Sept. 23 unveiling and public comment event for the draft Guadalupe County Major Thoroughfare Plan. The county will host the event at the Geronimo Community Center from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., where the draft map will be displayed and staff and engineers will take comment. The county said a virtual review and a 30‑day comment period will follow the public unveiling, and that maps will also be made available on the county website and in public lobbies.
The court framed the unveiling as an opportunity for residents to review the county’s draft thoroughfare plan, ask questions and submit written comments. County staff provided an email and website for questions and said the map would be posted after the public event for those unable to attend.
No formal vote or policy adoption of a county thoroughfare map took place at the Sept. 16 meeting; the meeting notice and subsequent public meeting are meant to gather public input before any policy action.
