Pasadena Walks! is a project designated to develop a Pedestrian Transportation Action Plan for Pasadena. The project will identify barriers to walking and options to improve such barriers. Over the course of the project, the project team conducted a number of activities to inform plan development, including:
- Reviewed citywide pedestrian collision data
- Collected public input and feedback via a survey, focus groups, and outreach
- Conducted presentations to update stakeholders and the public on our progress
- Collected counts of Pedestrians currently walking on city streets
Street Safety
According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, traffic crashes are the number one cause of premature death in the County for children aged 5-14. Vehicle collisions are also the number two cause of premature death for children 1-4, young adults 15-24, and adults 25-44.
The project will review local collision data as part of the planning process to identify locations that are most difficult for people walking in Pasadena. This data may then be used to help prioritize future investments and safety improvements.
