SAN ANTONIO (October 30, 2025) — District 6 Councilmember Ric Galvan is calling for immediate interdepartmental coordination to improve traffic and pedestrian safety along Marbach Road following the tragic death of John Jay High School student, Jose Flores III.

“I’m grateful to have met with the father of Jose Flores III this week,” said the District 6 Councilmember. “No family should ever have to experience a loss like this — especially not on a street that we know needs to be safe for every student. When any resident is harmed on our City roads, it is incumbent upon us to take action and ensure their safety.”

The District 6 Councilmember is requesting collaboration among the City’s Public Works, Planning, Capital Delivery, and Transportation Departments, and Northside ISD, to identify both immediate and long-term solutions. This includes a meeting to identify the following:

• Activating school zone flashing lights during high school lunch hours
• Reviewing complete street design needs for the corridor
• Coordinating with NISD to identify safe pedestrian routes to John Jay High School
• Implementing interim safety improvements quickly while long-term plans are developed

“I appreciate the immediate support from District 4 Councilmember Edward Mungia and Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones in moving this forward,” Galvan added. “Our students and families deserve safe, accessible streets — and that begins with action, not delay.”
