Four upcoming road projects in Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch

Multiple road projects are planned for the cities of Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch in 2026.

The gist: Through bond funds passed by voters in each city, these projects target major throughfares in need of reconstruction or expansion. In 2022, Boerne residents approved $23 million in transportation bonds, while Fair Oaks Ranch residents in 2024 approved $16 million. 

While the official start dates of the following projects have not been announced, each is anticipated to begin over the next year. Learn more about upcoming construction on Adler Road, School Street, Dietz Elkhorn Road and Ammann Road.

Oct. 6 public hearing scheduled for Scooter's Coffee in Boerne

A public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 6 for the Boerne Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss a special use permit for a Scooter’s Coffee located off I-10 near Cascade Caverns Road.

The details: The proposed development is located in the Scenic Interstate Corridor Overlay District, which establishes design and development standards for the area. The permit would allow for an accessory drive-thru for the 668-square-foot Scooter’s Coffee.

According to the P&Z agenda, the proposed drive-thru is designed to accommodate up to 14 vehicles in the queue and provides an escape lane. The site plan identifies five on-site spaces, including one Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant stall, with an additional 10 shared spaces available, for a total of 15.

Founded in 1998, Nebraska-based Scooter’s Coffee offers a selection of hot and iced beverages alongside a variety of food items.

There aren’t many places in San Antonio that offer sit-down Filipino dining and an Asian grocery market all-in-one.


At M.Y. Chockdee Oriental Market & Restaurant, located in Universal City at 119 E. Lindbergh Blvd., Owner and Chef Merle Ramirez said they have both—along with catering options and more.


Ramirez said she wanted to bring her love of cooking to the United States, so she moved from the Philippines to Texas in 1985. During that process, she met her husband, Yong—who trained her to become a professional cook.
