Another food truck park is on the way to Universal City.

Universal City’s City Council approved a development for a mobile food unit park at 1980 Universal City Blvd. on Jan. 6. The development agreement was approved in a 4-2 vote, with Mayor Pro Tem Christina Fitzpatrick and Council member Bernard Rubal dissenting.

What you need to know: A mobile food unit park is defined as three or more food trucks located together on a parcel of private or city-owned land, according to agenda documents. City Council approved an ordinance in February 2021 allowing the establishment of the development type, according to agenda documents.

The development agreement is between the city and local park operator UC Texas LLC. The food park will include space for six food trucks and 18 parking spaces, including two accessible spaces. There will be an outdoor eating area in the center of the property with 10 tables, three bicycle racks and outdoor restrooms, agenda documents state.

A runoff election has officially been called in Schertz for the Place 7 seat on City Council.

What’s on the ballot: During the Dec. 20 special election for the Place 7 seat, John Carbon and Robert Sheridan received the most votes out of five candidates and will be on the runoff ballot. Carbon received 172 votes or 27.56% of the vote, while Sheridan received 166 votes or 26.6% of the vote, according to the city's canvassed results.

If no candidate receives a majority of votes, a runoff will be held between the top two candidates, according to the Schertz City Charter.

The Place 7 seat was left vacant after the death of council member Tim Brown in October.

City Secretary Sheila Edmondson said early voting will run Jan. 14-25, with no voting on weekends or on Jan. 19 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Voting on election day, Jan. 31, will take place at the Schertz Annex Building from 7 a.m.-7 p.m., according to the resolution.

A new bike path has recently been added to the trail system at this popular park in North San Antonio.

What residents should know: A new mountain biking trail at McAllister Park called The Grove got its “finishing touches” on Dec. 14, according to a Facebook post from the Friends of McAllister Park, or FOMP.

Volunteers helped to construct portions of the trail, including planting vegetation, spreading mulch, laying down boulders and more.

FOMP is an independent, nonprofit organization that helps to fund and maintain projects at the park, according to its website.

The new trail is near the park’s multipurpose sports field, just outside the parking lot off Buckhorn Road.

More details: As a “flow” trail, The Grove contains a series of hills and is named after the native Texas Persimmon, common in the San Antonio area, according to an announcement from FOMP’s Facebook page.
