A $10.1M construction project is being engineered to improve drainage and traffic, flow on Broadway from Burr Road to Groveland and on Hildebrand from N. New Braunfels to the S.A. River.

Approved as part of the 2007 bond issue, the project will include widening Hildebrand (west of Broadway) to add a center turn lane and to add sidewalks on both sides of Hildebrand (also west of Broadway). The project will include acquisition of property from Incarnate Word University and AT&T. Coincidently, the engineering firm designing the project - Freese & Nichols - offices in the neighborhood at 4040 Broadway.

In addition, City Council is expected to authorize an additional $1.3M to bury overhead utility lines at this intersection for 150' - 350' in all directions, and both Koontz-McCombs and Incarnate Word have each agreed to contribute $100K in support of this effort.

As of April 23, AT&T had not agreed to commit funds in support of burying utility lines at this prominent intersection. Finally, dedicated right turn lanes are planned for Broadway northbound and Hildebrand westbound.
