Concerns about pedestrian safety in downtown Buda is growing among residents and business owners following reports of a teen who was struck by a vehicle last year.

During the May 1 Buda City Council meeting, Buda business owner Jeremy De Alcala voiced worries about pedestrian safety after one of his employees was struck while crossing Main Street in 2017.

De Alcala said a car struck one of his employees, who is currently a student at Hays High.

“As a resident, I had long felt that the pedestrian crossings on Main Street were an issue. The drivers do not seem to pay attention. I just felt like improvements need to be made,” De Alcala said.
