New Citizen Notification Program!
| |
The Public Works Department is excited to announce a new citizen notification system and we are encouraging everyone with a cell phone to sign up!
Public Works performs lots of projects and programs that can cause disruptions in everyday lives, such as street sweeping, road construction, and mosquito spraying. In addition to being a disruption to our citizens, some projects need full citizen cooperation in order to make them more successful.
For instance, if we are street sweeping in your neighborhood, we need all the vehicles to be off the streets, otherwise, we can't guarantee a completely clean street. In our road projects, we can't crack seal, seal coat, or perform a mill and overlay on a street if there are vehicles parked at the curb, which ends up in vehicles being towed out of the way. In our mosquito spraying program, we have some citizens that want to be notified so they can assure their windows are closed and pets are brought indoors.
This new program allows us to provide a courtesy notice 24 - 48 hours in advance to of any of these programs. This service will be offered via a text message to your cell phone that will announce the start of a project or program on your street or in your neighborhood, so that you are better prepared and we are able to more smoothly complete our project. To sign up for the notification program, please contact the Public Works Department at (210) 681-1232. Simply provide your name, the name of your cell phone provider, cell phone number, and street address. You can also email this information to [email protected].

We Need Your Help!
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - Transition Planning
The City of Leon Valley is preparing revisions to its ADA Transition Plan and we need help from persons in our community with disabilities to let us know how we can do better. From services and programming to actual facility remodeling, it is our goal to serve all of the citizens, not just in our community, but for our visitors as well. The Public Works Department has visited each facility and made recommendations for changes to the actual buildings, but we want to know if we need to make our services and programming more accommodating. In addition, there may be changes needed to the facilities that we hadn't noticed or thought of. City facilities consist of:
- City Hall/Police Department
- Fire Station
- Library and library annex
- Public Works
- Community and Conference Centers
- Public Parks
- Sidewalks and sidewalk ramps
- Crosswalks
Please contact the Public Works by email at [email protected] by phone at (210) 681-1232, or by mail at ADA, Public Works, 6400 El Verde Road, Leon Valley, Texas 78238 and let us know what ideas you might have for improving our services, programs, and facilities. We thank you in advance for your input and we will make the plan available to the public for more public comment on our website at www.leonvalleytexas.gov once we have prepared a draft.
