Yes. That it was such an attractive (and inexpensive if you're there for lunch) place to eat that it made me sad when I wasn't going to go there on principle. Mom and I returned there today for our weekly lunch and sat outside. We're both happy they made the change.

This is spelled out in a section of Los Angeles Municipal Code 12.21 (I believe).

It would be great if the zones that this was allowed to take place in were exapanded to include Residential and Open Space zones (like Dodger Stadium). It would also be great if the active use requirement was dropped to either 100 square feet, or done away with entirely. Additionally, I think that 25% or more of the required car parking should be interchangeable with bike parking.

This would allow developers to avoid all the insane costs of building massive parking lots for everything, andit would encourage more people to bike to their destinations.

Joe: It's the southeast corner of Wilshire and McCarthy Vista (one block west of Fairfax Avenue.

I was thinking the other day that it would be great if all stores with ample parking would take just one parking spot and convert it to bike parking. I believe I heard that 15 bikes could fit in a single car space.

This was brought on by my frustration that none of the grocery stores I go to have bike parking, yet have tons of empty car spaces. Vons at Virgil/Sunset recently redid their parking lot (and store) and completely eliminated bike parking. (The security guard at the door told me people kept stealing the bike racks.) Maybe stores with a certain number of car parking spaces should be required to provide bike parking as well.

It's a nice dream....
