ICYMI, the Mayors proposed budget is going to devastate LADOT and Bureau of Street Services. Expect many more broken streets and sidewalks, new safety projects to be delayed, and streetlight repairs will be paused until 2027. Read our analysis: www.streetsforall.org/blog/las-dir...

This program is at risk with the Mayor's proposed budget, despite it likely raising ~$5M for the city -> "In the second month of enforcement, automated cameras on two Metro bus routes issued more than 9,700 tickets to cars parked in a bus lane or at a bus stop" laist.com/news/transpo...

The Mayor’s proposed budget is a disaster for street safety. It will result in worse sidewalks, worse pavement condition, no new road safety projects, and may even lead to the end of popular events like CicLAvia. Make your voice heard! mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

✅ PASSED SENATE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE: SB 445 by @scottwiener.bsky.social that streamlines permit approval process for transit projects to tackle cities that cause costly delay against transit.

Yesterday, Traci Park and John Lee, two of LA's worst CMs for street safety projects, tried to introduce an amendment that would have made it more difficult for LADOT to remove peak-hour lanes, which make streets more dangerous for all. Thankfully, Nithya and Hugo spoke up, and they were defeated!

“Additionally, nearly half (42%) of Gen Z drivers admit to watching online videos while driving, and over a third (37%) confess to scrolling social media while behind the wheel” No amount of infrastructure can keep people safe if everyone is this distracted. www.foxla.com/news/distrac...

Andrew Jelmert was hit and killed on April 16, 2022 biking on Crystal Springs Dr in Griffith Park. Three years later and few safety measures have been implemented. Demand action by joining SAFE on April 19. bit.ly/42aFCm9

The City Administrative Officer is recommending a $2M cut to LADOT's funds to implement mobility plan streets, and cutting funding for curb ramps nearly in half. This will further slow progress for HLA implementation and safer streets.

Today Joe Linton of Streetsblog LA filed a lawsuit to force HLA compliance on Vermont and other LA city streets (and other Metro projects) and eliminate the mandatory administrative appeals process. We support this action – we simply want safe streets. www.streetsforall.org/blog/first-h...

Paris quickly becoming the most livable city "65% of them support a plan to pedestrianize another 500 streets, bringing the total of such streets to 700, a little more than 10% of the city total. The move will result in the loss of 10,000 parking spots." www.reuters.com/world/europe...

It's a sad day in Los Angeles when our country transportation agency @metrolosangeles.bsky.social ignores the law and the will of the voters. The board just unanimously approved the Vermont BRT without bike lanes. We are discussing next steps internally and will share more soon.

As larger, taller sport utility vehicles took over US roads, they also aggravated highway congestion, according to a new study. It’s yet another ill effect of “car bloat.” - @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
