The Los Angeles County Department
of Public Health is working to develop a
Community Pedestrian Plan for Lennox. This
plan aims to make it safer for people to walk
in Lennox, promote healthier lifestyles, and
improve pedestrian access to local amenities
throughout the community.
Health by the numbers
10% of adults in Lennox walk, bike, or take transit to work.
* American Community Survey (2022)
38% of adults in
Lennox are
considered
obese, which can increase the risk of health problems
* AskCHIS Neighborhood Edition (2022)
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 to getting around your neighborhood safely, and solutions
- 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.
