Nestled in the scenic Texas Hill Country, Boerne is a growing destination known for its small-town charm and vibrant downtown that draws both residents and visitors year-round. To support this growth and enhance public safety, the City is developing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) through a federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant awarded in 2024.

The CSAP outlines a strategic approach to eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries by improving safety for all modes of transportation. Key priorities include:

• Enhancing pedestrian safety in and around Boerne’s historic downtown with safer crosswalks, improved lighting, traffic calming, and sidewalk upgrades.
• Expanding pedestrian infrastructure in underserved neighborhoods by replacing deteriorating sidewalks and building new pathways.
• Using data and community input to identify high-risk areas and prioritize safety projects.

This plan reflects Boerne’s commitment to creating a safer, more walkable community for everyone who lives in or visits the city.

Boerne’s Safety Action Plan is part of the city’s commitment to the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) initiative, aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The plan outlines a strategic approach to making Boerne’s streets safer for everyone—drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users.

Key Highlights:

• Vision Zero Commitment: Boerne is working toward zero traffic deaths and serious injuries.
• Data-Driven Priorities: The plan uses crash data and community feedback to identify high-risk areas and guide improvements.
• Equity-Focused Solutions: Safety upgrades are designed to benefit all residents, especially vulnerable road users.
• Community Engagement: Residents are invited to participate through surveys, meetings, and interactive tools.
• Actionable Strategies: Recommendations include infrastructure upgrades, policy changes, and public education campaigns.

This plan is funded by a federal SS4A grant and developed in collaboration with local stakeholders, consultants, and the Safety Task Force.
