COMMUNITY OUTREACH
In collaboration with the Department of Public Health (DPH), Antelope Valley Partners for Health (AVPH) led outreach efforts to gather community input throughout the development of the Lake Los Angeles Community Pedestrian Plan. The community outreach strategy was developed based on the Plan's goals, as well as an understanding of existing community-identified issues.
Outreach was conducted in two phases. The first phase helped the project team understand barriers and opportunities for walking in Lake Los Angeles. The second phase of outreach gave community stakeholders a chance to respond to the draft Plan and provide additional input on needed pedestrian projects. These efforts took place throughout the development of the Plan, and included attending existing meetings held by community organizations, schools and neighborhood groups; tabling at community events; focus groups; stakeholder interviews; surveys; two community workshops; and community data collection activities and community walks.

HEALTH BY THE NUMBERS!
Walking
just 30 minutes a day may the reduce risk of heart
disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and cancer.
While youth in Lake Los Angeles get more
physical activity than the County average, children and
adults in Lake Los Angeles need more opportunities for
physical activity. County streets are a public
resource that can be designed to enable more people to
walk for transportation and recreation.
A goal of the pedestrian plan is to support healthy
lifestyles by making it safer for people to walk.
Currently 13.3% of collisions in Lake Los
Angeles involve people walking. With your input
this plan will identify improvements that can reduce
collisions involving people walking so more residents
are able to get out and enjoy walking in Lake Los
Angeles.
