Schertz safety panel to revisit neighborhood streets and consider traffic-count software

The traffic updates also name the FM 1518, Aviation and Aztec Way sight line and ownership, along with access from Primrose and a medical office to Schertz Parkway. These are separate location-specific topics. For the sight-line entry, the agenda ties a visibility question to ownership; for the access entry, it identifies the route onto Schertz Parkway. The meeting may clarify what the commission is being asked to do at each site. The posted topics themselves establish the questions before the panel, without establishing a design or a completed change.

Staff comments and new requests cover Buffalo Valley South signage, Woodland Oaks bulb outs and striping, Rose Garden Elementary at FM 1518 safety concerns, Lantana left turns to Cibolo Valley Drive, and Trainer Hale at Weir Road signage and lighting. The school-area entry gives families a named location to watch, while the Lantana entry concerns a specific turning movement. Buffalo Valley South and Trainer Hale concern signs, with lighting also named at Trainer Hale; Woodland Oaks combines a street-shape feature with markings. Each appears under staff comments and new requests, so readers should watch for the explanation and any next step attached to each location.

A proposed tool for counting traffic

Item 7 asks the commission to approve purchasing and using Urban SDK software for traffic counts. Traffic counts can inform later discussion of road conditions, but the agenda’s action wording alone does not establish what data would be collected at any named street or how the proposed purchase would be carried out. The useful Nov. 5 questions are what the software would cost, how staff expects to use it, and what authority the commission would exercise through an approval. The posted item is the place to check for an actual action after the meeting.

Other business and how to participate

The agenda includes proposed approval of the Oct. 1 meeting minutes as item 3, TxDOT updates as item 6, and future agenda requests as item 8. Call to order and roll call open the meeting; adjournment closes it. A TxDOT update could give context for state-road questions such as FM 1518, but the agenda does not itself attribute a particular outcome to TxDOT. Future agenda requests are the point to watch for subjects carried into another commission session.

The Transportation Safety Advisory Commission meeting is scheduled for Nov. 5, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex Council Chambers, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building 4. Residents can inspect the city’s Nov. 5 agenda for the full order of business and the named street locations before attending. After the session, the decision on the software item and any direction on individual streets should be checked in the city’s resulting meeting record.
