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.
