SATX-NBF: Impact 9/2/2025

Drivers in New Braunfels will see improvements at several road intersections, with ongoing construction anticipated to be completed by the end of the year.

The background: New Braunfels voters approved Proposition A—outlining plans for eight transportation projects throughout the city and totaling $99.33 million—in the 2023 bond. Among those projects, Phase 1 of the citywide intersection improvements was funded for $5.21 million.

According to the 2023 bond website, potential improvements include new traffic signal installations or intersection reconstruction, such as:

• Adding turn lanes
• Converting wire-hung traffic signals to mast arm-supported traffic signals
• Adding pedestrian signals
• Adding emergency vehicle prioritization for traffic signals
• Upgrading vehicle detection technology

A new sports card shop has just opened its doors in Boerne, filling a niche that Owner Jason Zamora said didn’t exist before in the area.

Long story short: After starting his first card collection at just seven years old, Zamora said that the hobby faded as life went on.

Then, decades later, his son got into Pokemon cards—and he was back into it.

“He started taking me to stores to get those cards, then I saw pretty much all of the brands that I used to collect back in the day,” Zamora said. “From there, I bought a pack, and it just never stopped.”

As a result, the plans for Primetime Sports Cardz were born.

After primarily selling sports cards on eBay for a couple of years, Zamora said that he wanted to take a leap and open his brick-and-mortar near Fair Oaks Ranch.
