Jones-Maltsberger Improvements WRAP UP

The final phase of overdue safety improvements for increasingly busy Jones-Maltsberger were recently completed. CHPNA began lobbying the Public Works Dept to fund the efforts long before construction of the 15 acre Allora Alamo Heights apartment complex added hundreds of vehicles to the street. 

In the first phase, the roadway was widened in 2024 to create a center turn lane enabling safer turning into our neighborhood which reduced the risk of collision due to blocking traffic while waiting for an opportunity to turn left into Marquis, Coronet or Colwyn Pass. In Fall 2025, No Parking signs were added to reduce congestion along the adjacent Frontage Road and deter vehicle parking on the grassy medians nearest the AHISD Natatorium.  CHPNA volunteers have landscaped these public lands for decades and illegally parked vehicles threatened the installations.

Then in Spring 2026, a stop light was added to the Colwyn Pass intersection aligning with the new apartment complex. Cross walks were added as well. A few months later, a "Flying T" median was added to the Trafalgar intersection. The unusual enclosed center turn lane will reduce patron vehicle congestion which frequently accompanies sporting events at the AHISD complex. No improvements to the nearby Ramsey intersection are scheduled at this time, but CHPNA continues to lobby city leaders for upgrades. 

This multi-phase publicly-funded project was made possible thanks to persistent CHPNA volunteers and the neighbors who support them. 

CHPNA continues to renovate the three Jones-Maltsberger medians alongside our subdivision. These prominent grassy islands serve as the face of our neighborhood, but have been in dire need of a landscaping overhaul. You can help by donating the equivalent of a shrub or tree!

CHPNA members in good standing can enjoy complimentary admission to the new AHISD Natatorium on Trafalgar. Member households can swim in the beautiful 650,000 gallon pool as often as they like throughout the current year. It's just one more reason to be a CHPNA member. As a reminder, memberships expire

each December 31, so be sure to start or renew your household membership for the current year to gain access.

To help residents receive real-time updates about important neighborhood issues, CHPNA has launched a new Rapid Alert Network. Residents who opt-in will receive periodic emails notifying of urgent or time-sensitive information such as public safety alerts, road closures, concerning city development and zoning initiatives, and other matters that may require timely community awareness and response.

“The goal of the network is to make sure residents can quickly receive important neighborhood updates,” said CHPNA President Kelly Walls. “While we’ll continue posting on Nextdoor and Facebook, this email network will allow us to share occasional direct updates when something important is happening in the neighborhood.”

But you won’t get alerts unless you opt-in. Enrollment is easy! Just click the button and send us a message requesting your household be added to the email network.

Residences with with poorly illuminated exterior spaces can request CPS add a supplemental flood light. The utility's All Night Security Light program is a low cost way to brighten up dark yards, alleys and streets. CPS will install a LED flood light to one of its existing poles or install a supplemental pole where desired. The fixture can be either aimed at the owner's dwelling or parallel to a roadway, but not into the roadway itself.

There are no installation or equipment costs, however a monthly charge is added to the homeowner's bill. Most residences are able to add a 100W fixture to an existing pole for as little as $9 per month plus a minor increase in energy used. There is a 3 year minimum commitment and penalty for early termination. To learn more contact the ANSL manager CPS by calling 210-760-4768 or click on the application button.
