Crosswalk request: "This is an intersection right across from a busy school … I never feel safe (and hate seeing moms having to run with/hurry their children even when they have the right of way)."
Two crosswalks marked at Council and Westmoreland in Koreatown.

It's a beautiful gray day for painting!

Following the recent death and destruction visited on families walking to school, we’ve focused on school-related requests.
Traffic control on this one was hairy but we got it done: Two new crosswalks at 22nd & Union in University Park.

VICTORY! We painted crosswalks at Ave 53 & Lincoln in Highland Park after two separate requests: "People drive fast thru stops on all 4 corners." "People drive thru stop signs. Tried crossing w/ granddaughter in stroller." We are happy to report our two crosswalks are now four.

Why did kids stop walking (and biking) to school? Great video from #AboutHere - about reasons (yes, there is research!) and potential solutions.
I guess, you can consider these solutions as #solarpunk and #TacticalUrbanism
VICTORY! We painted a crosswalk at Rosemont & Marathon in Silverlake after a local request noted that "drivers often speed through without looking for pedestrians." We are happy to report LADOT has replaced our crosswalk with its own.

Gabriela Futsi was killed in an unmarked crosswalk in 2016. More than six years later the crosswalk remained unmarked.
Two crosswalks installed at Fountain and Kenmore. The city of Los Angeles doesn’t keep us safe so we keep us safe.

Death won’t make the city act, but a new crosswalk will.
Instead of using their resources to help house those living in encampments, the city decided to spend their time removing our efforts to make them safer.
Two unhoused residents were killed by cars here.

Attached: 1 image We took advantage of a break in the rain to paint two crosswalks by a homeless encampment, brought to our attention by three separate requests. Cars killed two residents in past years and injured another in January. Unhoused people are killed by cars at 40 times the rate of housed pedestrians and cyclists in LA The city doesn't keep us safe, so we keep us safe. #TacticalUrbanism #diy #diyUrbanism #transit #cars #UrbanPlanning
