Evans Road rehab to continue through newyear
Selma’s Evans Road Reconstruc- tion Project will continue throughout 2022. The goal of the project is to widen Evans Road from the I-35 frontage road to the city limits. Selma is improving the capacity and safety of Evans Road by recon- structing vehicle lanes and installing new bike lanes, sidewalks and roadside parking. According to Assistant City Administrator Wyatt Agee, this will further the enhancements that began
with the Lookout Road Reconstruc- tion Project completed in 2019, with almost 7,000 linear feet of road sur- face and more than 4,000 linear feet of 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalks. The road will remain closed from the I-35 frontage road to Lookout Road until the project is completed. A northbound detour through Retama Parkway and southbound detour through Jordan Road to Cor- porate Drive will continue through roadwork. 1604

As part of the Evans Road Reconstruction Project, Selma will also complete a trail initiative that includes over 6,000 linear feet of 10-foot-wide trails along Cibolo Creek. The recreational trails will connect the Evans Road/ Lookout Road area with Stage Stop Park, and the existing Evans Road Hike and Bike Trail between the Stage Stop Park and John S. Harrison House property. The Evans Road Reconstruction Project and Cibolo Creek Recreational Trail will cost an estimated $3.34 million and is funded through the Municipal Development District Fund. The projects are estimated to be completed in the spring. This trail is a quality of life initiative that follows the direction set out in the Trails and Branding Master Plan that was adopted in 2018, said Assistant City Manager Wyatt Agee. The plan provides a basic framework to develop a comprehensive network of trails and bikeways across the city, he said. According to the plan, the city will establish a system of loops and interconnecting trails and bikeways for recreation and transportation uses, developing routes to destinations such as schools, parks, shopping, libraries,

places of worship, and other activity centers and estab- lishing policies that support the use of trails and bikeways, including education and enforcement. City Administrator Johnny Casias said this trail adds to the aesthetics of the city as it connects to an existing linear park system along Lookout Road. “We are very ecstatic to add to our wonderful park system,” Casias said. “This project is unique in that it plays o some of the natural terrain in Selma which is Cibolo Creek that runs right through our city limits.”

reconstruction and the replacement of sanitary sewer lines in Tri County Parkway from FM 3009 to Lookout Road, and in Lookout Road from Tri County Parkway to Doerr Lane. Timeline: TBD Cost: not to exceed $4.9 million Funding sources: Schertz Economic Development Corporation Reserves
