There’s My Crosswalk: YouTube Activist Adam Choit is Victorious

10:57 AM PDT on June 22, 2012

Remember the Hollywood resident who took to YouTube when pleas for a crosswalk at Sunset between Gardner and Pointsettia fell on deaf ears?

As Borat would say, BIG SUCCESS! LA Streetsblog reports:

Earlier this week, LADOT announced that they’ve seen the light, or at least the video. The intersection has been added to a list of intersections due to receive crosswalks and should be painted “in the next fiscal year.”

The news that pedestrians will soon be able to safely cross the street was good news for Choit who promises more videos such as the one above.

“This is great news, because a new traffic signal will not only definitely improve overall pedestrian safety in the area, but it will also help local businesses and the economy,” writes Choit. ”In the future, I plan to make more films and videos that have a positive impact on the community and world around me. It’s definitely rewarding to know that hard work and having a vision can pay off, and one person really can make a difference.”

Good on you, Adam.
