City of Kyle to Host Open Houses for 2022 Road Bond

KYLE, TEXAS – What’s on the ballot for City of Kyle voters this November? The community is invited to participate in two Open House meetings to find out just that.  

Specifically, the city is hosting these events to give citizens information as they prepare to vote on Proposition A, a road bond package featuring eight projects across the City of Kyle.  

The first meeting is set for Saturday, Oct. 1 from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. This Open House will be held in-person at Kyle City Hall, 100 W. Center St., but other options for participation include online streaming through Spectrum 10, the city’s YouTube channel, the City of Kyle Facebook Page and the city’s bond website, KyleBonds.com.   

Starting at 10:30 a.m., there will be a moderated panel discussion where citizens can submit questions for the mayor, as well as the city’s expert engineers, traffic modelers, and financial advisors who helped city staff and council craft Proposition A.  

“This a good way for people to get to see what will be on their ballots — and what the future might hold for Kyle,” said Mayor Travis Mitchell. “The City Council is working hard to prepare for the future. We’ve put Proposition A on the ballot to give citizens the opportunity to decide what they would like to see in Kyle.”

Attendees will also have an opportunity to view details about each road project, learn about the overall tax impact, and register to vote. Staff will be on hand to answer questions in English or Spanish.  

The city will hold a second Open House on Thursday, Oct. 20 from 6:00 -8:30 p.m. at the Kyle Public Works Building, 520 E. Ranch Road 150. The same information will be presented at each Open House. 

In August of this year, the Kyle City Council called for a $294.4 million bond election, which seeks voter approval for funding for critical transportation projects that will decrease congestion and improve overall safety and mobility in Kyle.   

The eight roadway projects across the city total 10.3 total miles of new construction, reconstruction, and widening projects to improve the city’s transportation network. These projects are designed to provide additional capacity to support current and future traffic, strengthen connections between the east and west sides of Kyle, and construct key segments of the Vybe trail system.   

“Early voting starts on October 24 in Kyle. We hope to help educate the public about what’s on the ballot so they can make the best, informed decision for themselves about Proposition A,” said Mayor Pro Tem Robert Rizo.
