Rahm, who said the school
district would bear the
expense of re-routing the
road, and of building cul-
de-sacs at the east and west
entrances to the campus, said
the closing of the road is the
most cost-effective plan the
trustees could find. If the
road is not closed, he said,
the school building projects
would cost about $1 million
more than anticipated.
Mrs. Carolyn Brown, vice
president of the Boerne
Parent-Teacher Association,
urged the Council agree to
closing the road to insure
better safety for the
students.
John Brougher, represent-
ing the Emergency Medical
Service, said the EMS has
been considering building a
facility on EMS-owned
property at the southwest
corner of the Johns Road-

said the EMS move would be
impossible if Johns Road

Muller said the latter plan
had been “suggested” to him
and had not been his idea,
but that he believed it held
merit. He said he felt the
county commissioners and
school trustees might want
to meet together to explore
the proposal further.
Trustee President Craig
Radtke said after the session
that the proposition was
“rumor” but might merit
consideration.
Meanwhile Mayor A. E.
Howell, Jr., who said he
could “not see” closing a
major artery such as Johns
Road, told Rahm and the
audience that the Council
would take the traffic survey
under study and make a
decision on Johns Road as
soon as possible.
