The Neighborhoods Workgroup at the California Endowment is pleased to invite you to:
How Land Use Can Keep You Safe
Monday, December 9th, 2013
1:00 - 4:00pm
In certain communities across California, youth not only have to worry about fast moving cars while walking or biking to school but also have to worry about being harassed or crossing multiple gang turfs. Not only does this prevent them from being physically active, it also affects their ability to learn and attend classes. We know that safety is necessary for community health but how do we incorporate violence prevention and land use decisions to get youth safely to and from school?
Come learn about the innovative efforts of community stakeholders in one community in Los Angeles who have worked with representatives of school, law enforcement, transportation, and small business to create a Safe Passages to School program that not only promotes walking and biking, but also increases attendance rates and socio-emotional wellbeing. We will also hear about funding opportunities through the newly created Active Transportation Program that could support programs like Safe Passages and others that provide youth and their families more options to be physically active. Please join us for a videoconference/conference call on how land use can keep us safe hosted by Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) and PolicyLink. This is the second in our Land Use Community of Practice series and is designed to create a space where grantees, community stakeholders and others can learn, share and be informed on the land use issues and practices that are most pertinent to your work.
