Laredo, TX- Attention motorists, if you are used to driving through Bartlett Avenue to and from Del Mar, you will be seeing a new yellow flashing signal and portable message signs. The City of Laredo will fully activate the new pedestrian crossing signal on Bartlett Avenue along the upper Zacate Creek Hike and Bike Trial on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. The signal is located between Del Mar and University Boulevard and is intended to improve the walking and biking safety of users along the trail.  

Laredo was awarded a $1.2M grant from the Transportation Alternatives Program through the Metropolitan Planning Organization for a two-mile off-road walking and cycling trail in north Laredo.  The enhancement includes the signal that will be actively in use and motorists in the area are cautioned to observe and follow all new signalization.

Information on the signal activation may be obtained from the Traffic Safety Department at 956-795-2550.
