Council reviews Cibolo Farms–Saddle Creek Ranch connection, TxDOT studying signal at FM 1103

City planners and staff presented a map showing how a planned through‑road from Cibolo Farms would ultimately connect into Saddle Creek Ranch and provide a secondary exit onto Green Valley Road via Coy Lane as development proceeds. Staff emphasized that the full 60‑foot roadway tie‑in will occur as adjacent tracts are developed and pointed to a land‑study reservation requiring the connection.

Council members voiced two sets of concerns: (1) traffic impacts for existing Coy Lane residents if the connection brings more cut‑through traffic, and (2) timing and predictability for when the other segments will be built. Staff and engineers said TxDOT has been asked to study whether a traffic signal is warranted at FM 1103 and that current TxDOT plans list signals — not four‑way stops — for that corridor; if warrants are not met today, warrants may be met in future as development intensity increases.

Staff noted that neighborhood connectivity is a planning objective and that the land study shows the connection is required. Council asked staff to email the underlying land‑study documentation and the latest traffic‑impact analysis so members can review before future approvals and to brief the planning and zoning commission on the provisions and timing.

Next steps: Staff will circulate the land study, continue coordination with TxDOT and provide the traffic impact analysis and timelines at the next available meeting for further council review.
