ISSUE 03 · ROADS & FLOODING
BETTER ROADS. LESS FLOOD RISK.
Every neighborhood should be safe when the rain comes, with parks, trails and libraries close to home. Justin has pushed for earlier flood warnings and real projects in Precinct 2.
WHEN STREETS FLOOD
Never drive into water on the road. Turn around, don't drown.

WHAT JUSTIN HAS DONE
Commissioners Court has five members. These passed with Justin's vote and work.
FUNDED
Earlier flood warnings
Real-time sensors, automated barriers and better alerts, plus $1.25 million for sirens in flood-prone areas.
UNDERWAY
Drainage where water collects
Includes $30 million for Zarzamora Creek, plus Huebner Creek, Seeling Channel and Big Geronimo.
OPEN
Libraries and places to gather
Opened BiblioTech Niña and committed more than $2 million to bring BiblioTech to the historic Lerma's building.
WHAT COMES NEXT
Funding is not the finish line. In his next term, Justin will push to:
01
FINISH THE PROJECTS
Get funded drainage, road and park projects built, and post progress where everyone can see it.
02
KEEP HOMES WITHIN REACH
Protect and add affordable homes, like the 270 at Country Club Village for seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.
03
EASIER WAYS TO GET AROUND
Back the VIA Silver Line, with $102 million from the County, and safer streets.
