(Seguin) — The city of Seguin is getting big thanks this week from the Navarro ISD. The city recently completed a road striping project along Link Road, near it’s intersection with State Highway 123.

Navarro ISD Superintendent Mandy Epley shared her thanks during Tuesday’s meeting of the Seguin City Council.  Epley says the work is important to the district and it helps to better define the traffic flow in that area.

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts for the work done on Link Road this weekend. That road, as you know, is a primary gateway to several of our schools. And to have it striped appropriately so that our families know where to go, and our young drivers — as they learn to drive — how to navigate. That really meant a lot,” said Epley.

Epley says the work was coordinated well by the city’s Public Works Department, and it’s already making a difference for the district.

“I do want to specifically send a very important thank you to John Donnelly and his crew, who worked diligently, and communicated well with us throughout the process. So please pass that on to him and his crew. They did a fantastic job, and we very much appreciative,” said Epley.

Traffic along Link Road is a challenge for parents and students in the Navarro ISD. The hope is that the striping will help to better define how traffic should flow in that highly congested area. Link Road is in need of widening, but that’s going to take many additional dollars and a coordination between the city, the school district and Guadalupe County to get that done. A growing portion of the Navarro ISD lies within the city of Seguin, or within the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
