A San Antonio intersection got major upgrades after a blind homeowner, Ricki Trevino, said speeding drivers were posing a safety threat for her and her children. Trevino lives on Brook Valley Drive and first raised concerns in 2025 via a 311 report and efforts to contact the city.
Safety Concerns Addressed
After seeing no relief, she contacted KSAT in January to report the fast-moving traffic and limited warnings for drivers and pedestrians. District 4 Councilman Edward Mungia said the intersection looks dramatically different in June than it did back in January. The primary changes include a new installation of a crosswalk, stop bar on both sides, and stop signs.
Mungia estimated the work and materials cost roughly $16,000 to $20,000. Trevino said the improvements have helped her feel more secure. Mungia also credited the collaboration with Public Works and KSAT, and he still wants to pursue additional safety measures, including flashing lights at the stop sign and a “hot” crosswalk that lights up when activated by a push button.
