Hands off our raised crosswalk!

In May of 2023, the Montrose TIRZ installed a raised crosswalk at Westheimer and Crocker across from Katz's.

The Mayor has decided to remove it.

On January 8th, 2016 Alex Hill was crossing Westheimer a block away when a driver ran through the red light and killed him.

On April 19th, 2023 Joseph McMullin was walking on the sidewalk when a driver speeding on Westheimer near Montrose lost control and killed him.

In March of 2024, the new Mayor ignored years of study and pubic engagement to announce his plan to drastically scale back the scope of the Lower Westheimer project.

On May 7th, 2024, the Mayor said “METRO needs to listen to the residents; the city needs to listen to the residents," at the groundbreaking.

But it’s clear he doesn’t listen. The Mayor wants to remove the raised crosswalk.

Sign the petition to tell Mayor Whitmire to keep his hands off the raised crosswalk!

Write the Mayor, Metro and Councilmember Abbie Kamin to let them know the community refuses to let another safety improvement project be destroyed.
