The traffic into the high school complex on Texas Street at East Ave.IG" only <br />multiplies the problem. <br /> <br />We have noticed an marked increase in pedestrian and vehicle traffic at San Jacinto Street <br />and East Ave."G" due to situation described above. The current school safety zone on San <br />Jacinto extends only 200 feet south of San Jacinto and East Ave.IG". Traffic on San <br />Jacinto should have more distance to react to the crosswalk there. <br /> <br />So, I hereby request that the school safety zone on the south end of San Jacinto Street be <br />increased from 200 feet south of Ave.IG" to 500 feet south of Ave.IG". A corresponding <br />lengthening of the school zone (by ordinance) and relocating of signs will, of course be <br />necessary. <br />
