So, what I’ve learned from the city’s Transportation & Capital Improvements department is that they are still in discussions with NISD and Councilman Pelaez’s office about options for the northern entrance (I don’t know who at NISD they are talking with).

In their meetings and traffic monitoring after our community meeting, there was concern about how having two three-way stops would affect the school operations. So they are proceeding with the main entrance work – since it was already planned and funded – while they figure out what to do with the other entrance. (Remember that Dr. Berger said the data show that both entrances were a concern and needed attention.)

But it looks like whatever will be done for the north entrance is not going to be done as quickly as we feel is necessary.

It’s been four weeks since our community meeting.

Several folk have suggested that – at least in the meantime – we need someone serving as a crossing guard or directing traffic. That it is up to NISD, not the city. And the superintendent was open to it.

If that’s right, how do we make that happen?
