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.

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 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.

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.

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.
