Votes at a glance: advisory committee forwards police recommendations and approves TTI sensor deployment
Summary
The committee approved minutes and took three recorded voice‑vote actions: approve minutes of previous meeting, forward Laredo Police Department port approach recommendations to City Council/TxDOT, and support Texas A&M/TxDOT border wait‑time sensor installations (subject to city agreements).
The Laredo Bridge Advisory Committee recorded three formal actions during the meeting:
1) Approval of the previous meeting minutes: Committee members moved and seconded approval of the minutes; the motion passed on a voice vote with no opposition recorded.
2) Motion to forward Laredo Police Department recommendations for port signage and barriers: After a presentation by Sergeant Andres Perez outlining proposed “empty lane” signage at three I‑69 West locations, extended concrete barriers on the frontage road and a permanent concrete barrier at the FM‑1472 on‑ramp, the committee voted to forward the recommendations to City Council and TxDOT for consideration. The action does not authorize construction or allocate funding; staff will confirm jurisdiction and funding routes and report back.
3) Motion to approve and support Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s Border Wait Time Measurement System presentation and to allow staff to pursue required agreements: Daniel Radolf of Texas A&M presented the TxDOT‑funded BWTMS and requested permission to install sensors on specified bridge facilities. The committee approved the request on a voice vote; city staff said a written agreement and counsel review are required before installations on city property proceed.
Where motions lacked recorded roll‑call tallies, the meeting recorded voice votes. The transcript records no formal opposition to any of the three recorded actions.
