Safe Streets - Your Input Requested

Introduction

Rose Park Neighborhood is working with Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to describe the impact of high risk and unsafe situations on our streets and sidewalks. We know Rose Park is surrounded with high-risk corridors - but the data hasn't changed speed enforcement or street design. However, as we move further into the dialogue we know that "we don't all experience" the same things, the same way. Feeling vulnerable on crowded sidewalks when others aren't wearing a face mask or jogging while black are experiences that are being shared across our communities. There are many other points of view - all important. We have created this dialogue as part of a 3-part series that will be presented to the City of Long Beach, LB Community Benefit Organizations that organize in this space, as well as SCAG. We want those in government and those that work to influence our communities to know the impact of not feeling safe and the effect it has on the health and well-being of neighborhoods.
