Bagby street at Westheimer

Mayor Whitmire probably wants to take away the pedestrians safety island that was installed a while back. "It impedes traffic flow, screw those pedestrians" said Whitmire, allegedly.

Well.....that pedestrian island does need to be pitied. No improvements in sight-- never got chosen for a CIP project. Of course its mowed to keep scraggly grass short but mega heat island of concrete during hot summers - huge water puddles retainer when it rains.  It lies outside both the Midtown and Montrose TIRZ. Don't think it's on the radar of Avondale Civic nor District C Abbie Kamin nor the close by businesses.........I miss the big "M" statue.

sigh

I don't think I can handle jokes like these right now

He said pedestrian safety is the responsibility of law enforcement this morning.

In other words, **shrug emoji**.

Yeah because he's equating public safety to JUST crime. He's not realizing he has a responsibility to build a safer city. There aren't enough cops to force people to stop for pedestrians, to stop running stop signs and red lights, to stop speeding .

The amount of people blatantly running red lights has increased substantially over the last couple years. It’s scary …
