October 1 crosswalk request: "It's near a park that's near two schools. This is a two way stop with no crosswalk paint.". Crosswalk and STOP painted at Dockweiler & Muirfield in Mid-City.

Whatever happens in the halls of power, you can still pick up a paint roller and change a little corner of your world. See you out there, friends.

VICTORY! A year after we put in these two crosswalks by a school in Koreatown, the city has made them permanent. Photo credit: Joe Linton/Streetsblog

Crosswalk request: “We have been asking for crosswalks here for years and I have the 311 service requests to prove it. There are no markings on the pavement and we are ONE BLOCK AWAY from an elementary school!”. Two crosswalks painted at N. Ave. 56 & Meridian in Highland Park.

Crosswalk request: “This is the second time I’ve been hit by a car here. Very dangerous intersection, down the street from 2 preschools and an elementary school.”. Crosswalk painted at Willoughby & Formosa in Hollywood. The stopline was faded so we touched that up too.

There were no crosswalks at this Boyle Heights intersection by a preschool, elementary school, high school, and local park. And thanks to its location at the bottom of a hill, cars approach at high speed and often run the stop signs. Two crosswalks painted at Fickett & E. 7th.

Crosswalk request: "When cars drive through they hardly ever come to a full stop, and often don't even see people trying to cross the street until they've almost hit them. Need a higher visibility crossing here.". Crosswalk painted at Alta Vista & Waring in Hollywood.

Read the original LA Times story about their deaths here and see how the city has maintained its approach of prioritizing cars over human life.

In 1988, two women were killed crossing Beachwood in Hollywood. The city decided a reasonable response to these deaths was to install two stop signs, and zero crosswalks. 35 years later, little has changed: someone almost got hit as we were arriving to paint this crosswalk.

This cyclist was killed one block from where Gabriela Futsi was killed, where we put in two crosswalks (which LADOT removed) and where LADOT put in a memorial plaque 7 years after her death. Maybe in 7 years LADOT will put in another memorial plaque for him.

This location has been requested three times through our crosswalk form. We didn't put one in because it felt too unsafe. It's disgraceful how many LA parks can't be safely accessed by pedestrians and cyclists.

We love to see it!.

Universal, with revenues of $11.6 billion, will pay a $250 fine while Crosswalk Collective, with revenues of several buckets of paint, paid $1000 in fines for marking a legal unmarked crosswalk.

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.

It's a beautiful gray day for painting!

On Saturday LA hustled out its crews for the important work of … removing crosswalks kids use to get to school. They made sure not to fix the streetlight that's been broken for months so now it will be extra unsafe. Wow, LA, great job!
