SAN ANTONIO ā The city got an update on Vision Zero Wednesday, a program designed to achieve "zero" pedestrian fatalities on the roadways.
During a presentation, Transportation and Capital Improvement Assistant Director Art Reinhardt said the numbers of pedestrian fatalities over the last few years have increased in San Antonio, but that it is also part of a national trend.
Part of Vision Zero's action plan to achieve "zero" deaths on the road includes the "Don't Block the Box Campaign," which kicked off a few weeks ago.
Kim Davila, whose son was hit at a crosswalk on Valley Hi Drive in September said she's glad the city is raising awareness about the issue.
Davila said the increase in pedestrian fatalities, although scary, is not surprising because she said people are just driving too fast.
