In March 2020, TERA was approved as a local sponsor for one of the first four “Slow Streets” implementations in Los Angeles. Slow Streets is a temporary program that enables residents to maintain physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program has already been very well-received by local residents as it enables access to exercise and fresh air while discouraging aggressive driving at a time when speeding has increased on local streets.
We would like to hear from you! Please let us know your thoughts after you’ve experienced one of these streets in person so we can get the City to improve and address any issues. If you are interested in bringing Slow Streets to your own street, let us know so we can help. Please use our survey here: http://tera90041.org/slow-streets-survey/

Now that Slow Streets have been implemented in Eagle Rock, we would love to hear from you! Please let us know your thoughts after you’ve experienced one of these streets in person so we can get the City to improve and address any issues. Also, we would be interested to know if you are interested in adding in other Eagle Rock streets to this temporary program. Give us your feedback in the survey below (continue reading).

Slow Streets Program
TERA has worked with the City of Los Angeles to bring its temporary “Slow Streets” program to Eagle Rock. “Slow Streets” seeks to provide more space on residential streets for people to maintain social distancing while getting out for fresh air and exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting on Friday 5/22, the City began providing temporary signage at intersections along the following streets to discourage aggressive driving:
- Ellenwood Drive from Avenue 45 to Yosemite Drive
- Fair Park Avenue between Eagle Rock Boulevard and Maywood Avenue
- Maywood Avenue between Yosemite Drive and Chickasaw Ave
These streets will remain open to drive and park on, but drivers should be aware of the presence of neighbors and children seeking to maintain social distancing.
Here is our letter to Councilmember Huizar offering to sponsor the Slow Street program in Eagle Rock.
On November 15 th 2017, The Eagle Rock Association (TERA) sent a letter to Council District 14 requesting the City address known and on-going traffic safety issues on Yosemite Drive. That letter was prompted by a horrific car crash one month prior that sent a student to the hospital. It is now seven months since that letter and no indication the City will do anything to substantially improve conditions along the corridor for the thousands of residents and students that interact with the street every day. The fundamental issue on Yosemite – a street design that favors car speeds over pedestrian safety – remains unchanged. As the one year anniversary of the aforementioned crash approaches, TERA urges immediate action so that students and residents alike need not fear being struck during the simple act of crossing the street or exiting one’s driveway.
