Shenandoah residents will have an opportunity to provide suggestions to the city regarding traffic concerns following discussion at the city’s March 11 meeting.
How we got here
The Traffic Analysis Committee, formed in 2025 including council member Joe M. Summerlin, was created to identify traffic concerns in the Shenandoah Valley neighborhood. The committee discussed approaching traffic mitigation in phases, beginning with neighborhood entry points and later evaluating additional locations, per the agenda packet.
“The types of things we were looking for were speeding, repeat offenders running stop signs and cutting through traffic,” Summerlin said.
What residents should know
A map has been created showing the specific areas where traffic occurs, as a starting point to discuss potential solutions, Summerlin said. Interim City Administrator Joseph Peart also noted that a map is being developed as they receive feedback from residents.
“Currently, we're looking at some technologies, and we're going to try to roll this out in a phased process. If we decide to do it, it's got to be in the budget,” Summerlin said. “We're looking at some actual radar indicated signs that will reflect your speed and also collect data at the same time.”
What to expect
A public discussion will be held at the next meeting March 25 at the Shenandoah City Hall, 29955 I-45 N., Shenandoah.
