Guadalupe County commissioners postponed a vote to update its 2012 major thoroughfare plan during its regular meeting Jan. 6.

A major thoroughfare plan is a long-range planning tool used for potential future roadways. The plan does not define the final alignment of roadways, nor does it construct roadways and acquire new property. Instead, the plan aims to identify general alignments and roadway classifications needed to accommodate transportation needs and facilitate mobility and connectivity, according to Guadalupe County's website.

Some details: Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher said thoroughfare plans are a challenging conversation from start to finish.

Precinct 1 Commissioner Jacqueline Ott said her vote will depend on what she thinks is best for Precinct 1.

Stay tuned: The Commissioners Court will discuss the plan again at an upcoming meeting scheduled for Jan. 24 or Feb. 10.

A new sports park named 2 Wheel Kids Action Sports Park is gearing up to break ground at 320 Caney Creek Road, New Braunfels, in February.

The 5.5-acre sports park is being developed by Brandon Beabout and Duke VanDeel. Beabout said VanDeel purchased the property in 2023.

About the project: The park’s philosophy is to be a skill-focused and family-friendly destination designed to build confidence, progression and community across multiple riding disciplines.

"The whole goal is to be able to give kids these skills in life that we don't learn without challenging experiences and skills of communication," Beabout said.

The sports park will offer tracks for gas-powered dirt bikes, e-bikes, mountain bikes, RC cars and small gas-engine vehicles. The small gas-engine vehicles include mini bikes, pit bikes and youth gas units. 2 Wheel Kids Action Sports Park will also offer spring and summer camps where kids can learn track etiquette, ways to ride safely and how to have confidence. The sports park will be membership-based; however, day passes will also be available, Beabout said.
