We will soon feel safer crossing this NoHo crosswalk
Well you know you’re a North Hollywood local if you’ve almost gotten run over at the infamous crosswalk of fear at Magnolia and Blakeslee. This intersection has caused problems and scares over the years and it is time we make it safer.
We are thankful that our Councilman Paul Krekorian drafted a city council motion to install a Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) on Magnolia. These are flashing lights that The Department of Transportation is piloting throughout the city to accompany cross walk signage an ultimately increase safety. According to Councilman Krekorian’s motion, this intersection is key to enhancing the walkability of the NoHo Arts District.
This is great news since METRO L.A.’s The Source “Car-Free and Car-Lite in LA: where to live” article rated NoHo Arts District #3. The list is based on a neighborhood’s access to transit, pedestrian-friendliness and bike access (using scores from (walkscore.com), local amenities and connectivity to other neighborhoods.
Make sure to follow CD2 News for news from Councilman Krekorian.
