Road work has begun in the Northcliffe area of Schertz as part of a citywide rehabilitation project.

What’s being done: According to agenda documents from the Nov. 18 Schertz City Council meeting, concrete pavement repairs are ongoing on St. Andrews Drive in the Northcliffe area.

Existing concrete sections have been removed on the street, and contractor E-Z Bel Construction is currently working on placing a new layer of pavement.

The work on St. Andrews is part of the city’s 2024 SPAM Rehabilitation project, a $3.58 million project that includes St. Andrews and Maple drives and streets in the Silvertree subdivision.

According to previous agenda documents, the streets were selected as needing more than just resurfacing. Rehabilitation is defined as removing the existing pavement from the surface, cement stabilizing the existing base underneath and placing a new layer of pavement on the surface. The method had been used in the past to address other streets in the Northcliffe area, agenda documents state.

The details: Known as Fire Station 103, the new station will replace the existing station on West Borgfeld Road, which was built almost sixty years ago.

The new facility will include state-of-the-art equipment, expanded staff and provide improved service delivery for approximately 20,000 residents. It will also have an upstairs meeting room, which will be available for events, such as HOA meetings. The station will also feature a new training facility behind it.

From Nov. 7-16, around 220,000 people celebrated German culture while supporting local nonprofit organizations at Wurstfest.

Wurstfest—which originated in 1961—began as a one-day festival created by the New Braunfels meat inspector, Ed Grist, as a festival to honor sausage. The festival has since grown to 10 days of celebrating the city’s German heritage.

Read all about it: Marc Allen, 2025 festival general chair and president-elect, said crowds were evenly dispersed across the 10-day event, and attendance was up about 4%-5%.

“I think it was a huge success,” Allen told Community Impact.

One of the significant changes implemented at the event this year was eliminating drink tickets, which sped up the lines. By eliminating drink tickets more space was created on the grounds.

“We had seven new vendors that we were able to put in spots where drink ticket booths were,” Allen said.
