Comal River Improvements Project

Project Overview

The City of New Braunfels is studying the Comal River - from Hinman Island upstream to San Antonio Street downstream - (including the City Tube Chute and the Last Public Exit) to identify needed improvements.  The purpose of this project is to conduct a detailed evaluation of existing conditions and infrastructure, collect public input on possible improvements, privatize repairs and improvements, and to develop an implementation plan.

Future Work

Conceptual design of improvements, additional public engagement, final design of improvements, and construction.


Public Engagement

The City of New Braunfels believes that public input is key to creating a plan that reflects the needs and values of the community, park, and City. We were excited to receive nearly 400 survey responses following the first public meeting in July 2018 and look forward to continuing to work with the community.
