Shavano Park leaders eye future road projects While bond-funded upgrades continue on several Shavano Park city streets, local leaders are planning more infrastructure fixes in other parts of the city. The background At the Feb. 26 City Council meeting, city officials and consultants said they are awaiting final approval on a $4 million federal grant agreement to support planned additional road upgrades, with $3 million going to De Zavala Road. Local officials said the remaining $1 million could be used to fix some older city streets. Dig deeper Tom Turk, principal of Freeland Turk Engineer- ing Group, told council about his company’s recent assessment of roads in neighborhoods west of Northwest Military Highway.
