City officials urged to address dangerous dark intersections

During a recent government meeting, public safety concerns were raised regarding inadequate lighting near the railroad tracks in front of Sanchez. A participant questioned whether the lights in that area are owned or controlled by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) or the city of Sakura. The discussion highlighted the potential dangers posed by the lack of illumination, particularly for pedestrians who often do not wear reflective clothing, leading to near-miss incidents. The need for improved lighting to enhance safety in this dark area was emphasized, prompting further investigation into the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the lights.
