Support your grassroots initiative transforming safety and connectivity for our regional streetscape
Contact your reps to request crosswalks and signals on Hyperion.
The Hyperion Street Safety Coalition includes organizations, business owners, tenants, residents, schools, and students in the Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Atwater Village communities who seek to prioritize safety and mobility on the 1.5 mile stretch of roadway extending from Hyperion Ave at Rowena Ave to Fountain Ave at Sunset Blvd.
We are partnering to build a multi-benefit active transportation infrastructure on Hyperion and Fountain Avenues that will result in Sustainable Mobility, Urban Cooling, Improved Health and Livability, and Thriving Businesses, while serving as a model for Community Resilience.
Our Mission
Preventing deaths and injuries due to infrastructure failures by advocating for improved mobility and safety on Hyperion and Fountain Avenues. The solutions you see in The Avenue Plan reflect our support of Hyperion and Fountain Avenue businesses, Safe Routes to School, and the forging of regional linkages.
Safety Now
Our team conducted a collision analysis in 2021 (data from 2009-2019) with updates in 2026 that revealed a troubling continuation of car crashes involving pedestrians or cyclists. Most of these occurred during the day, with clear weather, on dry streets, and under no unusual road conditions; suggesting that the infrastructure of The Avenue does not provide sufficient protection to pedestrians or cyclists.
In addition to fatalities that have occurred in the past ten years, several business storefronts have experienced crashes over the years.
It’s time for safety now.
