Schertz's 2024 Street Preservation and Maintenance Rehabilitation Project has moved on to the second phase of construction.

What’s new: Roadwork on St. Andrews Drive is now complete, with rehabilitation work moving to the Dove Meadows and Silvertree area, according to agenda documents from a Dec. 16 Schertz City Council meeting.

Rehabilitation means removing existing pavement, applying cement stabilization to material underneath, and placing a new layer of pavement on the street, according to agenda documents.

The $3.58 million project is funded by Schertz SPAM funding.

What’s next: Projected completion on the rehabilitation is spring 2026, with work on Maple Drive to be done after the work in Dove Meadows and Silvertree, according to agenda documents.

This November, Texas voters approved 17 constitutional amendments, also known as state propositions. Here’s what’s next for some of those propositions and what they mean for Texans.

The overview: Texas voters authorized the state to spend $1 billion annually on water supply funding, totaling $20 billion over a two-decade period, through Proposition 4. Funding will flow into the Texas Water Fund, a state account created in 2023 to help finance water projects.

However, state law requires that the money does not begin moving into the water fund until September 2027, and it will not be available for grants until 2029. Until then, state agencies, water utilities and local organizations will need to plan for funding, adjust rules and processes to align with recent state laws and update Texas’ water and flood plans, according to the Texas Water Foundation.

More details: Texas homeowners were set to see expanded property tax breaks on their 2025 tax bills under Propositions 11 and 13. Four other property tax exemptions approved by voters will take effect Jan. 1.
