The Glendale Walkabouts are a part or a larger Citywide pedestrian safety program to raise awareness about safety issues involving bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists in Glendale. In 2014, the City of Glendale received $2.7 million in bicycle and pedestrian safety grants to fund educational projects around the city. As part of this funding, the City is developing a Citywide Pedestrian Plan which will present an analysis of current walking conditions and offer recommendations that will guide the development of future pedestrian infrastructure. The findings of the Walkabouts will be used to help develop the Pedestrian Plan, which will be complete in mid-2017.
