ABOUT SAFER SIDEWALKS

Bringing Community & Accesibility Closer

Sidewalks are for people, for everyone. In an city such as Los Angeles, with the passing of Measure HLA sidewalks are about to shine. Sidewalks are the most important part of our public spaces becuase there are free, regardleess of status, health or any other metric for all people and everyone deserves better sidewalks. Nobody talks enough about sidewalks, we are all about streets but there isn't a movement for better pedestrian experience which is key for first and last mile connections between transit modes. I want more people (regular people that are not within the transit space) to understand the importance of our sidewalks as well as advocates (such as myself) to have a place to discuss sidewalks. We can't do this without your help.

I am your host, Nicholas De La Torre and I will be writing bi-weekly (sometimes more! Schedule could change due to being a student in high school.) about topics that interest me mostly within urban advocacy. Topics such as Safe Streets, Mobility, Housing & more. This blog is centered in news within the local Los Angeles area based in Sawtelle. Sometimes I will cover news from Japan and other countries about interesting strategies on better cities and transit!
