Yesterday I joined residents, Father Domenech from Mary Immaculate Church, and our DOT Crew to celebrate a decades-long request fulfilled. We held a small activation ceremony for the new Hybrid Pedestrian Beacon at Laurel Canyon Blvd. and Mercer St.
For more than 20 years, residents have been seeking safer crossing access at this location, and it was a priority location for me with the $4.8m in funding I secured for traffic improvements in my first term.
This project will significantly enhance community safety and create a safe crossing on a busy corridor for Pacoima residents. I look forward to unveiling the additional traffic safety improvements throughout the district in the coming months.
