Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Waller County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
7 issues in roads with high priority
Bond program road construction under budget
A voter-approved bond road project came in at $8.7 million against a $9.4 million estimate — a good sign for taxpayers as bond projects begin delivering.
Mathis Road reconstruction
The county will advertise for bids to rebuild Double Culvert Road and Cedar Creek Road in Precinct 1 and Neuman Road in Precinct 4 — a direct investment in rural road conditions.
Road and Bridge Capacity and Subdivision Road Costs
The county just took on maintenance of streets in Sunterra Section 70 and Bluestem Sections 2 and 3. That means county road and bridge crews — and county dollars — are now responsible for those neighborhoods' streets.
Highway 36A / 306A corridor study
The county hired BGE for up to $372,198 to study the feasibility of the 36A route — early groundwork on a long-discussed transportation corridor.
Prairie View road improvement partnership
Waller County and the City of Prairie View will jointly improve four road segments — Cochran, Flukinger, Owens and Richards Roads. The county added a cap on how much the city must pay for utility relocations.
Kickapoo Road/FM 1488 intersection safety fix
The new 575-lot Castle Rock development will realign a dangerous 30-degree skewed intersection at Kickapoo Road and FM 1488 — a major safety win the engineer called significant.
Major thoroughfare plan amendment near Kickapoo and Joseph Roads
The county is preserving a future north-south corridor through Precinct 2, near land it may lease for a park and annex. Three alignment options were shown; the item was pulled so affected landowners get mailed notice before a March 4 vote.
