Key points The question of whether to remove medians along Texas Avenue will be put to voters on November 3. This decision comes after years of community pushback, including a petition with over 2,800 signatures, due to blocked turns and disrupted routes.
A longstanding community issue is heading to the ballot. The question of whether to remove medians along Texas Avenue will be put to voters on November 3. This decision comes after years of community pushback, including a petition with over 2,800 signatures, due to blocked turns and disrupted routes.
The issue was approved to be sent to the ballot at a recent meeting. However, city officials note that even if the measure passes, the process will not be quick. Further details on the issue and its potential outcome are available.
City officials have indicated that a court may need to decide whether the city has the authority to remove the medians, should the measure pass.
