The Texas Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing on proposed improvements to US 281 from East Borgfeld Drive to SH 46. The project would widen the existing four-lane divided roadway to a six-lane divided highway with high-occupancy vehicle lanes. Plans also call for adding frontage roads, shared-use paths and intersection improvements throughout the corridor. The come-and-go public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Bulverde Methodist Church Community Center, 28300 US 281, San Antonio, Texas 78260. TxDOT says a virtual option is also available online by searching “US 281 South Comal.” The public can provide feedback in person, online or by mail. Comments must be received or postmarked by Nov. 25 to be included in the official meeting record.
