Walkability Checklist
 

Guided by the Urban Design Studio, the Citywide Planning Commission adopted the Walkability Checklist in the summer of 2007 and directed that it be applied to all projects seeking discretionary approval, primarily Site Plan Review and Zone Change
cases.

The concept of walkability has an established history in Los Angeles, beginning with Councilmember Michael Woo's original Pedestrian Bill of Rights.
The development of the initial Checklist required input by many stakeholders, led by the city's Pedestrian Advisory Committee and including participation from several departments and agencies as well.
On August 23, 2007, the Citywide Planning Commission approved the Walkability Checklist. The final graphically complete Walkability Checklist was completed in November 2008.
