“[The crosswalk] makes me more conscious about the surrounding area with the children,” said Aguilar, who drove to the park. “I really feel that it modifies a neighborhood more securely for the children, which is important for me.”
Enrique Aguilar with his grandchildren Kalista, Zamora, and Freddie Sanchez at Lemon Grove Recreation Center.“During the day, it never seemed like a problem,” said Codee Hutchins, who walks her dog in the area almost daily. “But I did notice sometimes driving through, like in the evenings or at night, when there's little less visibility when people were crossing, cars would just blow through. I do think it's better now. Safer.
The collective recently shared on social media about the crosswalk being replaced, calling it a victory. But this isn’t their first or only DIY crosswalk, so that led me to this question: Why did the city replace this one?The collective's DIY crosswalk was painted in November last year. LADOT replaced it in the same month, according to department spokesperson Colin Sweeney. He told LAist over email that the city has an urgency to make streets safer.
