Residents of North San Antonio Hills should prepare for a temporary shake-up in their daily commutes. Councilmember Melissa Cabello Havrda has declared that, in response to concerns from local homeowners, a portion of Autumn Mist will be sealed off from June 15 to September 15, 2024. A statement by the District 6 office indicates this move is a trial run to determine both the practicality and resident support for a possible permanent closure.
Havrda's team has been collaborating with the San Antonio Public Works Department for months, tackling homeowners' issues and finally opting for the temporary shutdown, this summer initiative will be a test bed for community sentiment and solutions. As noted in the district's communication, the San Antonio Police Department and San Antonio Fear Free Environment officers are in the loop about the upcoming timetable.
The District 6 team has pledged to do its due diligence in keeping the public informed. Homeowners and residents can keep their finger on the pulse of the road closure, raising questions or expressing their opinions, by reaching out through SASpeakUp's dedicated webpage, or by traditional means via email at [email protected] or phone at 210-207-3749.
Havrda has detailed a multi-channel alert strategy: the District 6 team is spreading the word via social media, the North San Antonio Hills Homeowner’s Association will be distributing flyers all through the neighborhood, and for those more inclined towards visual cues The Public Works Department will set up electronic signboards on strategic roadways such as Lone Star Parkway and the Loop1604 access road, drivers will be unlikely to miss these electronic harbinger of changed traffic patterns.
