Issue:
Alfonso Cadriel is scared that his two young boys will some day get hurt by the 10-15 cars that zoom by an alley next to his house. The cars belong to Gladys Porter Zoo employees that work in a storage unit behind his house, located adjacent to a back corner of the zoo on 120 King St. “If they’re going to continue using it like a street … pave it,” he said
Who to call:
Gladys Porter Zoo officials at 546-7187.
What they said:
Zoo officials are discouraging employees from using the caliche alley as a short-cut. Employees are being reminded of proper places of entry to their “behindthe-scenes” areas, which include through the back of the zoo or through paved entryways on South Old Alice Road.
“We don’t want to make it more attractive to use by paving it,” marketing director Cynthia Garza Galvan said.
