“Like millions of other parents across the city, we want our children to be able to walk to school, bike to a friend’s house, ride a scooter around their neighborhoods and otherwise experience the world in a way that fosters confidence and freedom. But with each move that narrows a sidewalk, or eliminates a safe crossing, or tears out a bike lane, we see that vision slip further away… Mayor Whitmire has made it clear that Houston faces tough budget challenges. So why waste precious resources tearing out past investments? Street safety improvements save lives and reduce long-term costs related to traffic crashes. If the mayor is serious about maximizing city resources, preserving this infrastructure — not wasting money tearing it out — would be the wiser choice… We call on Mayor Whitmire to restore the infrastructure that has been removed and to reaffirm his commitment to making Houston a city that is safe for all Houstonians — especially those who will inherit it from us.” - Excerpt from Houston Chronicle Op Ed “Over 100 Houston moms: Mayor Whitmire, stop ripping up our safe street infrastructure | Opinion” By Ashley Blaylock, Gayatri Garg, 104 other mothers April 3, 2025
Please listen to Derek’s touching story. A man who is alive today because of the Austin Street safe routes that were designed to keep ALL road users safe - alive to take his children to school, watch them have another birthday, alive to teach another class of students downtown. #walkandrollhtx #safety #mobility #infrastructure #saferoutestoschool #austinstreet #ilove11th #ataleoftwobridges
Every child deserves a safe route to school! With HISD cutting bus transportation for commuters over 3 miles away, more children are walking and rolling to school, and more drivers are in the carpool line. Thank you to the community grandparents, parents, disabled, and kids who continue to plead for the safety of our most vulnerable. Let’s protect the tiniest voices—because they can’t protect themselves. One year later, after the community pleaded with @houstonmayor to preserve the safety of all by protecting 11th street, the community is back to continue to ask to be heard. #SafeRoutes #ProtectOurKids #walkandrollhouston
