Envision Eastern

Pueblo Planning partnered with Deborah Murphy Urban Design + Planning on behalf of the Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering to involve community members in the visioning and design process for improvements to Eastern Avenue in El Sereno. The goal was to make this area safer for people biking, walking, taking public transit, and driving. Through realtime story mapping, Pueblo Planning led bilingual pop-ups along the corridor at three well-traveled and geographically dispersed locations to engage residents who may not be able to attend the community workshops. Pueblo Planning chose three locations to target a multi-generational audience that was currently using the corridor; middle school students, senior citizens, and parents who are in their late 20s to early 40s who have elementary-aged children. Through this engagement and community workshops, Pueblo Planning was able to co-develop with the community key corridor design and planning treatments to make their neighborhood safer for people choosing all modes of transportation.
