I started this petition as someone who lives, works, plays and raises a family in Silver Lake and who cannot imagine my children growing up in a world in which using your own two feet is not a protected form of transportation throughout Los Angeles.

With the current plan for the redesign of the Glendale Hyperion bridge, pedestrians can't safely or legally cross to the other side of the street to use the proposed single sidewalk without a lengthy detour. The city shouldn’t be taking away one of our sidewalks. It should be making both sidewalks safer and more accessible, so that people of all ages and abilities can safely take active transportation across the Glendale Hyperion bridge.
