LOS ANGELES—Mayor Karen Bass announced hundreds of new street safety improvements installed by the city to make it safer for children and families to walk safely to and from school. Improvements include installing new speed humps, signage and intersection treatments which help ensure drivers are traveling slowly and with control near schools. Last year, Mayor Bass announced the first installation of street safety infrastructure along with hiring of crossing guards.
“As the school year begins, the City has doubled down and completed hundreds of new street improvements to keep families and children safe as they get to and from school,” said Mayor Bass. “We will do all that we can to continue to make communities safer and focus on ensuring a safe experience for students this year.”
The city has completed installation of projects and taken action to make areas around schools safer, including:
