WESLACO, Texas - Students at Weslaco High School are working to make sure their school zone is safe.

Art students re-striped the crosswalk on Border Avenue near Panther Drive.

It's part of the Texas A&M Agri-Life Extension's Working on Wellness Project in Hidalgo County.

The city of Weslaco is working to make its streets more walkable. But with the help of students, they've added a little twist.

Andrea Valdez - Texas A&M Agri-Life Extension, "Our students at Weslaco High School designed this crosswalk with the Panther, or if you want to call them Wildcat also, paw prints down the side. So they had designed it and now they're painting it so they can take ownership. It's really theirs. They can promote it to their friends and say hey walk on the crosswalk. I designed it and I helped paint it."

Texas A&M Agri-Life Extension says residents can be on the lookout for more new crosswalks and bike lanes throughout the city to promote health and fitness.
