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

Health by the numbers

6% of Adults in West Carson Walk, Bike, or Take Transit to work

* American Community Survey (2022)

21% of Adults in West Carson are considered Obese, which can increase the risk of health problems
* Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

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.

This project will last from Summer 2024 through Winter 2027. 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, as well as
  solutions to address these challenges
• 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.
