Pedestrian safety is a growing concern in Pacoima, particularly along busy corridors near Whiteman Airport, Roger Jessup Park, and Ritchie Valens Park. High-speed traffic on I-5, CA-118, I-210, and Foothill Boulevard and arterial roads, combined with inadequate crosswalks in some areas, puts walkers at serious risk. When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle in Pacoima, the injuries are almost always severe.
