Meet the guerrilla cells in the war on cars.
Since February, the members of the Crosswalk Collective have been painting crosswalks at intersections in residential neighborhoods around Los Angeles. Each new crosswalk represents a small point of contention in the, in a place where the city hasn’t taken action and so those human beings must. They are handmade, DIY infrastructure-as-protest. I love them.
In an email interview, a representative of the group—who wished to remain anonymous—said that there was no precipitating event for the guerrilla actions. “It was just the accumulation of years of watching the city not take action while so many pedestrians and cyclists were being injured and killed,” they wrote.
