Boerne ISD board urges TxDOT to speed safety improvements on State Highway 46 West
Summary
Boerne ISD trustees unanimously approved a resolution asking the Texas Department of Transportation to accelerate planned safety work on State Highway 46 West between I‑10 and SH‑16, citing resident reports and frequent accidents on the route used by students and buses.
The Boerne ISD Board unanimously approved a resolution on June 15 urging the Texas Department of Transportation to accelerate planned safety improvements on State Highway 46 West between I‑10 and State Highway 16.
Trustees discussed an email from a nearby resident documenting numerous accidents on the corridor and emphasized concerns for student and bus safety. Board members said local commissioners in Bandera and Kendall counties have already engaged TxDOT and that the district’s resolution seeks to move the anticipated construction timeline forward (currently projected in the first quarter of 2028) and prioritize earlier, incremental safety measures being implemented in the short term (such as rumble strips and warning devices).
A trustee described speaking with the resident activist (Brad Dobson) who compiled accident data and coordinated with legislative offices; trustees referenced other local resolutions from neighboring counties included in the meeting packet. The board voted to approve the resolution to send to TxDOT and local legislators.
