Show Notes
Join us for Episode 3 of La Prensa Texas' "Let’s Talk About It,
where host Yvette Tello and
cohost Jaclyn Tacoronte engage with lifelong West Side residents Bernie Cantú and Louis
Escareno. This episode tackles the urgent safety issues at the corner of Zarzamora & West
Martin in District 5, a designated Severe Pedestrian Injury Area.
With narrow sidewalks, heavy traffic, and daily foot traffic from local students, the risks are real
and documented. VIA Metropolitan Transit supports a proactive solution that could transform
this dangerous intersection through a bulb-out design. For over a century, La Prensa Texas has
been a voice for the community, and now, through this podcast, we’re turning pressing issues
into actionable dialogues. This isn't just a conversation; it's a call to action for pedestrian safety
and equitable infrastructure. Listen to learn, engage, and be part of the change because the
corner of Zarzamora & Martin isn’t just a location — it’s a crucial test of our commitment to
safety and community accountability.
