Schertz panel to weigh traffic-count software and neighborhood safety requests

Schertz residents can speak Thursday as a city panel weighs traffic-count software and reviews street safety requests; the next record will show what action it takes.

Schertz's Transportation Safety Advisory Commission is set to consider approval to purchase and use Urban SDK traffic-count software on Nov. 5.

The proposed purchase is the agenda's explicit action item on traffic counts; the posted record does not itself record a decision. For residents seeking an explanation of how the city measures traffic before recommending street changes, the software question is a concrete point to follow at Thursday's meeting.

From the source record

Nov. 5 meeting agendaProposed traffic-count software action
Action Item - TSAC Approval to purchase and utilize Urban SDK software for Traffic Counts
City of Schertz Transportation Safety Advisory Commission ↗
The posted agenda lists a possible commission action on Urban SDK traffic-count software; it records no outcome.

Residents near Ashley Park, Crest Oak, Golden Oak and FM 1518 have specific speeding, marking, speed-hump and sightline questions before the commission. These are listed as updates and requests, so the meeting offers a place to hear the current status and the next steps. It does not establish that any new hump, marking, sign or other street treatment has been authorized or installed.

Returning neighborhood questions

The Oct. 1 commission agenda already listed Ashley Park markings, Crest Oak and Golden Oak speed humps, FM 1518 sightlines and Primrose access as traffic topics. That earlier agenda establishes that several subjects are returning; by itself, it does not establish a prior decision. The Nov. 5 agenda proposes approval of the Oct. 1 minutes, a separate item that may help readers trace what happened at the previous meeting once the minutes are available as an approved record.

For Ashley Park, the commission is scheduled to revisit speeding and pavement markings. Crest Oak and Golden Oak appear together as locations where optional speed humps are under discussion. Those are distinct questions: markings change what drivers see on the pavement, while humps would change the roadway itself. The agenda supplies topics for discussion, not a design, schedule or installation order.

The FM 1518 discussion concerns sightlines around Aviation and Aztec Way, including trees and ownership questions. Another update concerns access from Primrose and nearby medical buildings to Schertz Parkway. Readers who use those approaches can look to the commission's discussion for a clearer account of the locations and any responsibility assigned for follow-up; the posted agenda does not resolve those questions.

New requests, state-road updates and a software vote

The agenda also lists staff and new requests concerning signs at Buffalo Valley South, bulb-outs and striping at Woodland Oaks, Rose Garden Elementary at FM 1518, left turns from Lantana to Cibolo Valley Drive, and signs and lighting near Trainer Hale at Weir Road. Each location raises a different question for drivers, pedestrians or nearby residents. Their listing puts them before the commission for an update or discussion; it does not mean the same treatment has been chosen for each place.

A separate TxDOT updates item gives the commission room to report on state transportation matters. The posted agenda identifies no specific state action in that heading, so readers should look to the meeting record for the substance of any update. The software item differs from these discussion entries: it asks the commission for possible approval to purchase and use Urban SDK for traffic counts. A later action record is needed to know whether that proposal passed, changed or remained pending.

How to attend and speak

The Schertz Transportation Safety Advisory Commission is scheduled to meet Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex Council Chambers, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building #4. The meeting begins with a call to order and roll call. Residents who want to address the commission during its Hearing of Residents must register before the meeting and give the speaker registration to the chair, according to the posted agenda. Speakers have a five-minute limit, and commission discussion is limited to matters on the agenda.

The Nov. 5 agenda also allows members to request future agenda items. After that business, it lists adjournment. For anyone tracking a particular street, the useful next check is the commission's postmeeting action record or minutes: those records can show the disposition of the software proposal, any direction on the traffic updates and which requests return. The official Nov. 5 meeting agenda remains the primary route for checking the full list of locations and speaking instructions before attending.
