El Paso’s Community-Led Initiative: Creating Safer Streets for Students

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- A community project that's all about making streets safer for everyone, especially our young students.

In El Paso, a collaborative effort is underway to transform curb extensions, making pedestrian crossings safer, particularly for students at Guillen Middle and Hart Elementary Schools.

City officials say this initiative aims to establish "Safe Routes to School," boosting children's and parent's confidence in walking to school independently or with supervision while promoting physical activity.

It aligns with El Paso's Comprehensive Streets policy, reinforcing the commitment to safer street design for all residents.
