Kyle leaders hold downtown town hall

The future of downtown Kyle was on the table Saturday as city leaders met with stakeholders hoping to find middle ground on the subject.

While no formal decision was made, officials and residents came to terms on issues such as noise problems in the downtown sector, which they felt must be dealt with.

Discussion on downtown arises as the city eyes updating its 10-year Comprehensive Plan in 2020. Downtown area residents, however, have spent hours coming to council meetings in recent years to speak against rezoning propositions, new businesses and specifically, the addition of new bars and restaurants that would bring traffic and noise to the area.
