Months after a man was hit and killed by an SAPD officer at 39th & W. Commerce, San Antonio Public Works Department is recommending a traffic signal be installed.
The most recent traffic study completed was not prompted by the crash that killed Jimenez. It was prompted by a call to 311 months earlier.
“There were higher volumes of traffic. And then we also looked at crash data for more recent years. And that kind of helped us map two of the the criteria for putting in a traffic signal,” Berry said.At the intersection right now, there isn’t much in terms of traffic control, aside from a stop sign on 39th St. just before W. Commerce.
Herrera and her family said they won’t be celebrating justice for Leo until they see the changes for themselves. “They’re still asking. They still haven’t said yes. Like I, you know, like I say, until I see the lights, flashing lights, I’ll be happy. I’ll be happy for my uncle,” Herrera said.Copyright 2022 by KSAT - All rights reserved.Leigh Waldman is a news reporter at KSAT 12. She joined the station in 2021.
