More than 20 crosswalk zones near local public schools in Harris County will soon receive a makeover while students are away for the winter break.
In a nutshell
Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones on Dec. 22 launched Crosswalks 4 Precinct 4, a plan to improve visibility and safety at pedestrian crossings near school campuses. Precinct 4’s road and bridge crew will oversee the improvements, Briones said.
“These are 20 crosswalks that our kids use everyday to walk to school, that families use to get to the nearest park, to their place of worship, to the nearest bus stop to get to work,” Briones said in the Dec. 22 news release.
