(Seguin) – Guadalupe County is asking residents to help shape the future of its roadway system by providing feedback on the county’s draft Major Thoroughfare Plan.
A public meeting is scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 23) from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the Geronimo Community Center. The event will be in an open-house format, allowing attendees to come and go at their convenience. There will be no formal presentation, but exhibits and maps will be available for review, and county leaders will be on hand to answer questions.
Guadalupe County Public Information Officer Carmen Davila says the event is designed to give residents their first look at the draft plan.
“This is a draft map that we will be revealing to the public. At this public meeting, residents have the opportunity to see the draft plan and provide comments. It is a come and go casual event. We want the public to come in, give us their feedback and this is important because it allows us to help create future roadways in Guadalupe County with that feedback with our residents,” said Davila.
Davila says community involvement is vital, especially as the area continues to grow.
“Our county continues to grow. We need to ensure that the plans reflect the needs and priorities of everyone that they are meant to serve. It can be done in person at the public meeting. They can go online and visit our website and fill out a survey and provide us with their input that way or they can come in and stop by the Development Center and look at the map and provide their written input as well. So, the community’s input is important because it helps us see their part of the roads they are driving – the land they are living on and it helps us make those connectivity roads make sense and just being able to have their input helps us drive better decisions,” said Davila.
Davila says residents who can’t attend in person will be able to download meeting materials online at guadalupeco-mtp.com. Those materials will be made available beginning at 4:30 p.m. the day of the event.
County officials say the draft plan identifies proposed thoroughfares with color-coded maps. Once adopted, they say it will replace the county’s current plan, which was last updated in 2012.
Public comments will be accepted from Sept. 23 through Oct. 23, 2025.
The Geronimo Community Center is located at 280 Navarro Drive.
