Crosswalk request: “The intersection of Echo Park Ave and Baxter constantly has cars blowing through stop signs, speeding down the hill. There is an elementary school, a preschool and a restaurant with zero crossing visibility.“

Two crosswalks marked at Echo Park & Baxter in Elysian Heights.

Hey @ladotofficial.bsky.social, you've had funding for 14 years to fix 4th & New Hampshire in Ktown, but instead you did nothing, which killed Nadir. Amazing that it only took you three months to remove our crosswalks and memorial. Put them back in or we will. Again. And again. And again.

We started painting crosswalks because we couldn't count on the city to protect us, especially our kids and elders. 3 years later, it’s clear the city of LA still doesn't value the lives of Angelenos.

We'll continue our work, and supporting our network of other painters, until our streets are safe.

En memoria de Nadir Gavarrete. Our city failed you. Ni una muerte más.

Three days ago 9-year-old Nadir Gavarrete and his brother were hit by a driver at 4th & New Hampshire in Ktown. Nadir died and his brother is hospitalized. LA city officials are well aware of the dangers of this intersection and have done nothing.



Four crosswalks painted at 4th & New Hampshire.

Crosswalk request: "Too many cars run the stop signs. I've asked my city council field deputy for help and was told it will take YEARS to get a crosswalk due to sidewalk assessments, etc. Also told that there's no money in the budget."

Two crosswalks marked at Sycamore & De Longpre in Hollywood.

While fulfilling an earlier crosswalk request, we noticed the park nearby was filled with kids playing but had no crosswalks, so we came back and put two in at Dockweiler and West in Mid-City.

Crosswalk request: "Tired of dodging cars here everyday with the stop line practically nonexistent too.”

Crosswalk marked at Wilshire and Kenmore in Koreatown. The stop line got a touch-up too.

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.

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!

Following the recent death and destruction visited on families walking to school, we’ve focused on school-related requests.

Traffic control on this one was hairy but we got it done: Two new crosswalks at 22nd & Union in University Park.
