The crosswalks are the first installation of a larger project called Moving Beauty Pathways, which is a series of pedestrian improvements along San Fernando Road.
Lopez and Karen Ugarte from Tía Chucha's conducted outreach for months and learned that the community wanted a more walkable city. In theirmany called for more visibility by putting lights along sidewalks so they could walk at night, or repainting crosswalks so drivers could slow down and respect pedestrians. Others called for more public artwork that represents the community.
An additional $250,000 in funds came from L.A. City Councilmember Monica Rodriguez, whose district includes Sylmar. "The crosswalk paintings were necessary, but we also wanted to really bring the cultural aspect to it because things could be functional and they could be aesthetically pleasing and nice to look at," Lopez said."We understand that that heavily influences our mental health and also encourages people to want to walk outside rather than commute.", the team said the next phase will include murals and better lighting on the bike path along San Fernando Road.
