San Antonio Official Roundup: Public Notices and Health Advisories for February 23

City Governance and Public Engagement

On Monday, February 23, 2026, the City of San Antonio has scheduled several key sessions aimed at municipal planning and community development. A City Council Special Session is set to convene at 10:00 a.m. to discuss urgent administrative matters. Following this, the Zoning Board of Adjustment will hold its regular meeting at 1:00 p.m. to review property variances and land-use applications.

Residents are also invited to a public open house regarding the Main Plaza Improvement Project. The session will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Central Library, located at 600 Soledad Street. This event offers a unique opportunity for community members to preview conceptual designs for the historic plaza and provide direct feedback to the Public Works design team.

Major Traffic and Infrastructure Alerts

Commuters should prepare for significant disruptions as several long-term infrastructure projects reach critical phases this week:

• Loop 1604 Expansion: A major long-term closure on Loop 1604 begins today, Monday, February 23. This phase involves the closure of two busy stretches of the highway as contractors continue work on a new entrance and exit ramp system. These changes are expected to remain in place through early June 2026.
• Downtown I-35 Repairs: The lower-level mainlanes of I-35 South between I-37 and I-10 remain closed for bridge repair. While the upper levels are open, heavy delays are expected through mid-March.
• FM 2252 Construction: Maintenance crews will implement overnight lane closures on FM 2252 (Eastbound and Westbound) starting at 9:00 p.m. tonight for the installation of box culverts. Work is scheduled to conclude by 5:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Public Health Advisories

The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District has issued updates regarding respiratory and viral concerns in the region. Flu cases in Bexar County have reached a seasonal peak, primarily driven by the H3N2 variant. Health officials report that emergency room visits for respiratory symptoms are currently surpassing previous years and urge all residents to prioritize vaccinations and stay home if they exhibit symptoms.

Additionally, local health authorities are investigating a confirmed case of measles in a Bexar County resident following out-of-state travel. This follows a cluster of cases identified in neighboring Bandera and Kendall Counties. The public is advised to ensure their MMR vaccinations are up to date.

Public Service Reminders

The San Antonio Municipal Court continues its effort to assist residents with outstanding legal matters. The current "clear warrant" period allows individuals to resolve traffic citations and Class C misdemeanors without the risk of immediate arrest. Furthermore, residents should be aware of a proposed 8% increase in water rates for 2026, currently under review by the City Council to fund necessary upgrades to the city's aging sewer and wastewater infrastructure.
