Can the L.A. City Council reduce vehicle deaths near schools with more crossing guards and other efforts?
The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday, May 3, unanimously approved a report calling for ways to expedite the hiring of more crossing guards,that killed a woman and critically injured her 6-year-old daughter near Hancock Park Elementary School on April 25.
“While the district continues to push for the expedited hiring of crossing guards, we also know that crossing guards alone won’t solve the problem of pedestrian safety and therefore we are also in support of the amended motion language that also considers,” LAUSD representative Genesis Coronado told the council during public comment.
Transportation staff will provide a progress report on their efforts to hire more crossing guards, and the department will provide the LAUSD with a list of prioritized school locations eligible for a crossing guard.
