HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston isn't exactly known for its well-maintained sidewalks, but parents who spoke to ABC13 say what their kids face outside their elementary school is downright dangerous.

The parents said their kids go to Almeda Elementary on Almeda-School Road in southwest Houston and explained the pedestrian options around the school feel unsafe.

The nonprofit transportation advocacy group Link Houston estimates that only about 57% of Houston streets have sidewalks, and 39% of those are rated fair or poor.
