How to request marked crosswalk?

There is a very busy intersection, both with lots of pedestrian and car traffic, that really needs a marked crosswalk. It is not a safe intersection for any party because no one knows where exactly to cross and no car knows where people are going to cross.

I have tried submitting requests to 311 but either I’m not putting the right code for the issue or they aren’t the department to go to because they keep marking the cases resolved and nothing happens (and the description of the resolution is cryptic)

Does anyone have any advice?

Houston Police officers were not charged or dismissed after unconstitutional body cavity search of 20-year-old black woman in a public parking lot

HOUSTON POLICE OFFICERS WILL NOT BE TRIED OVER INVASIVE BODY CAVITY SEARCH OF BLACK WOMAN

Have these officers still not been dismissed from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office? If not, can we please PLEASE try to ensure that these officers never work in law enforcement again?

How is any citizen in Houston safe with law enforcement officers that are willing and PERMITTED to violate and dehumanize a young woman in public? They stripped a college student naked and made her lay on the concrete so they could find marijuana, really?

This woman was failed by so many public servants on so many levels and she was awarded a measly $185k. Why did Kim Ogg neglect to fight for justice for this young woman’s autonomy over her own body? Even a panel on FOX news admitted that it is stunning how this case was handled and that these officers are STILL employed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4VQUl-lTbA
