Los Angeles, CA
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024
Project Category: Walk Audits
Description: Older adults in Little Tokyo faced cracked pavement, unsafe intersections and accessibility challenges that discouraged visits to this historic neighborhood. Keiro led two walk audits of 11 intersections before major community events, engaging volunteers and local leaders to identify hazards and advocate for improvements. The effort sparked dialogue with stakeholders and boosted confidence among older adults to return. One participant said the audits helped create "a more welcoming environment for seniors to come back and reconnect," reinforcing cultural ties and mobility.
