The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is working to develop a pedestrian plan for Del Aire and Wiseburn. This pedestrian plan aims to make it safer for people to walk, promote healthier lifestyles, and improve pedestrian access to local amenities throughout the community.

What is a pedestrian plan?

A Pedestrian Plan identifies specific projects,policies, and programs to make your community more walkable. Projects could be sidewalks, crosswalks, trees, and more. Pedestrian Plans include cost estimates, and help the County prioritize which projects to work on next. They consider things like safety, health, and access to important places that you want to go. They also include a record of community conversations that shaped the project.

Throughout the planning process, we want to hear from you and your neighbors to help us:

• Identify walking challenges and/or barriers to getting around your neighborhood safely, and solutions to address them
• Improve connections to community resources
• Reduce the number of collisions involving people walking

Why encourage walking?

Walking 30 minutes a day may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and cancer.
