Denton City Transportation Staff Ensures Full Coverage for School Crossing Guards

The Denton Mobility Committee meeting on August 27, 2025, highlighted significant updates regarding the management of the school crossing guard program, which has transitioned from the police department to the transportation services. Committee members expressed confidence in the current staffing levels, ensuring that all school locations are adequately covered. The focus remains on stabilizing operations in the short term, with plans for further improvements to be discussed once immediate needs are met.

In addition to the crossing guard updates, committee members praised the recent ADA improvements at Oak and Austin Street, noting the positive impact on downtown accessibility. The meeting also addressed future agenda items, with a proposal to remove five topics from the discussion matrix, including city bus recommendations and parking issues. However, members emphasized the need for ongoing discussions about transit services and parking policies, suggesting these topics be revisited in future meetings.

The committee is set to reconvene on September 24, where they will continue to evaluate transportation services and address any emerging concerns. The collaborative spirit of the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to enhancing mobility and accessibility in Denton, ensuring that community needs are prioritized as they move forward.
