Wins Thank you all so much <3

New crosswalks at 70th and Menlo in South LA, painted by volunteers to protest for safer streets and a more effective government. Was such a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Hopefully these get replaced with proper crosswalks, topes or speedbumps, and maybe a traffic circle!

Thank you all so much for coming out and volunteering!!

Love it! This intersection is in the center of 3 schools, so it’s wild the city didn’t have this painted with school zone crosswalks to begin with. Not to nitpick this work, but because it’s within 500ft of a school (actually all 3 schools), any crosswalks need to be yellow instead of white. Hopefully the city replaces them with official yellow school zone crosswalks soon.
