Some activists took to the streets in an effort to promote public safety in their neighborhood, though their gains were erased by officials in Los Angeles.
The group, Crosswalk Collective LA, began painting its own crosswalks throughout the city in March, arguing the city council doesn’t act quickly enough to approve crosswalk requests. The group has since painted crosswalks at three intersections, according to its website — with one location being removed to make way for a planned traffic circle that is set to be placed at the intersection.“The city of Los Angeles is removing all of the crosswalks we've installed in the past few months.
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation removed the crosswalks at the intersection of Romaine Street and North Serrano Avenue due to laws that prohibit unauthorized installations without city permission, officials told NPR in a report published Friday. The department and the City Council have not received any requests to implement crosswalks at that intersection, officials added.
“While the city was removing our crosswalks at Romaine & Serrano, we painted one that was requested April 11 by a resident through our request form,” the group said.
