Calls for pedestrian safety renewed after Houston ISD student hit by driver on Westheimer

After a 15-year-old Lamar High School student was struck and injured while crossing a street near his campus, Houston Mayor John Whitmire said the city would construct a pedestrian-activated traffic signal at the intersection. The leader of a transportation advocacy group said there could be better, more cost-effective solutions.

Another pedestrian was hit in the same crosswalk where a neighbor was killed in June. She survived but is badly injured (broken hip, other bones). Hit and run this time. I am literally shaking from how angry I am right now. #VisionZero #PedestrianSafety
