District 2 Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez is calling for action to address maintenance issues related to Union Pacific properties in San Antonio. In a Council Consideration Request (CCR) filed on February 16, 2024, McKee-Rodriguez emphasized the importance of maintaining these areas for the safety and beautification of the city.
"District 2 contains the highest number of rail miles and intersections with Union Pacific in San Antonio. Based on numerous calls from residents asking for the city to maintain these areas, I found it necessary to call for action to address these overgrown properties on a long-term basis. I look forward to reaching a solution that achieves a level of safety and beautification for all of San Antonio," said McKee-Rodriguez.
The CCR, supported by Councilmembers Teri Castillo (District 5), Melissa Cabello Havrda (District 6), Marina Alderete Gavito (District 7), and Marc White (District 10), aims to formalize a partnership with Union Pacific to tackle maintenance issues effectively. The next step in the process is scheduling this matter on an upcoming Governance Committee meeting agenda.
