Between 2011 and 2015, at least 21 people have died along the roadway after getting hit.
Crystal Tamez of San Anto Cultural Arts is the artist behind the piece in the making. When finished, the painting will include people using various modes of transportation.
It will also feature late bicyclist Tito Bradshaw. Bradshaw died earlier this year after being struck by a driver on the East Side.
"We did put him up there because we had so many people who threw out his name. People do care about the people that have passed and they do care about this change that they want to happen," Tamez said.
Tamez has more than a month to complete the mural here at the fire station. The finished product will be unveiled in November for World Remembrance Day.
