Blanco boards review traffic calming, streetscape projects; P&Z to weigh variances on Monday
No final votes or decisions were recorded at two Blanco committee meetings over the past two weeks, as minutes from those sessions have not yet been published. The Transportation Planning and Advisory Committee met June 25 and the Streetscape Committee met July 2, each discussing ongoing projects and next steps.
Transportation committee outlines U.S. 281 calming plan
The Transportation Planning and Advisory Committee (TPAC) discussed development of an outline for a traffic-calming plan on U.S. 281 and coordination of sub-tasks. Other items included updates on Jake Brake and radar signs, a welcome sign, the criteria manual, and a grant for the Wheels and Feet project. The committee also reviewed drainage, parking, and sidewalks at 4th and Pecan Street. The meeting’s agenda listed possible action on the U.S. 281 calming plan outline, but no outcome has been published.

The Streetscape Committee considered replacing a committee member and received financial and engineering updates on the Sue Ann Pecan Street project and a Pedernales Electric Cooperative alternative pole plan. Members also heard a status update on a Community Development Block Grant application and reported fundraising results from Bamburger Ranch. No decisions were recorded.
