I was not able to attend the initial meeting on the 24th, although other family members participated and understood there will be additional meetings. I would like to attend future sessions, but I do not see a schedule for the next meeting. Could someone direct me to a meeting schedule for the comprehensive planning process?
Thank you,
Susan
Thanks for your comment Susan. We do not currently have the next meeting scheduled. As soon as we do we will post in on this blog as well as at http://www.cityofkyle.com. You can download the presentation from the last meeting at http://www.cityofkyle.com/CompPlan09.php . Let me know if you need anything else.
I was impressed with the discussions concerning the 2 watersheds. They will play a great part in the over all
attractiveness of our area. Especially as we grow to 100k residents. The river, creeka nd parks will be necessary as a buffer to any visual effects of such a large population.
I was concerned about the lack of discussion in the break out groups concerning the proposed Plum Creek dog park being located below the dam at the headwaters of Plum Creek. Non of the planners were aware of this park being
flagged for bids.
The 1st meeting it was mentioned several times for bike lanes on city streets. The city of Kyle needs to be required to have bikes lanes funded for all new road building. The local newspaper mentioned bike paths that is wrong and the biking community wants bike lanes on streets. Expecting bike paths to have prcedence over bike lanes is not what the experienced bike riders want. Promoting the popular Stagecoach Trail is a biking priority not using that road for cement and gravel trucks to speed on as their backway into more urban sprawl.
One of the conversations during the meeting was how the road changes on I-35 would cause more traffic. This is going to talked about more I’m sure, but one thing I don’t understand is why we are sending teenagers to Lehman HS from the west side of I-35. I know this is a zoning issue but Hays HS is 5 minutes away from Hometown Kyle. Is there going to be a new HS between Kyle and Blanco Vista that can be shared? With all the development on the east side, Lehman is going to over crowded in a few years if it isn’t already. Thanks – Michael
2 things…
We need bike lanes so that people can both commute and otherwise travel without being forced to use a car. I’m not a cyclist, but I was just so disappointed that the newly rebuilt Kohlers Crossing road was installed without bike lanes. They did not think – they just built. In Austin, there are roads more narrow than Kohlers Crossing that have bike lanes. Shame on our representatives.
The newly built Kohlers Crossing has a speed limit of 40MPH for its entire length. The stretch eastbound from 1626 is empty of everthing except 1 business. It is a 4-lane divided road with almost no access from the sides. There is no good reason for that piece of road to have a speed limit less than 50MPH.
Join us for our next public workshop on

at Lehman High School
1700 Lehman Road
From 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
I would like an outdoor lighting ordinance to be addressed. Light pollution is the evening use of poorly designed lights sending light up, down, and all around instead of where the light should be directed (toward the ground). All those lights wash out the night sky ruining the beauty of the cosmos for all. Regulating outdoor lighting would improve night time public safety and security, promote energy efficiency and reduce lighting which is detrimental to the environment and enjoyment of public and private property.
Would prefer zoning to mandate low pressure sodium lights and better light direction for business and residential use instead of harsh, white glaring lights. To aim night fixtures in an appropriate direction and to use fixtures that prevent light from going up into the sky.
An example of light pollution and poor outdoor lighting is the HEB Plus parking lot. The parking area can be seen for miles around with its glaring, blinding light not mention its high electricity cost.
Many cities have adopted an outdoor lighting ordinance with success. Let Kyle be a leader in Central Texas by saving our night skies, reducing energy cost and increasing safety.
When posting your next meeting please include a room location at the high school. I showed up at Lehman HS but couldn’t find the meeting. There wern’t any signs on the front doors directing you to where the meeting was being held. It looked like the library had students,the gym was filled with basketball practice. I’m not familar with the HS and walked around and drove around the parking lot looking for the meeting.
