Dripping Springs road plan moves to council

By Sahar Chmais

The growth of Dripping Springs seems inevitable, and as the population grows, so does traffic. Dripping Springs is in the process of adopting the Transportation Master Plan — frowned upon by some residents and welcomed by others.

Dripping Springs’ population has more than doubled since 2010, with more than 4,000 residents living in the city as of 2019. Residents expressed their worries to the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z), that if the city’s growth continues and brings more roads along with it, the city’s charm will be lost. Others were concerned about the placement of planned roads and whether they would cut through their ranches and backyards.
