Vroom! Three New Speed Limit Increases Come to City Council
The move to speed up Los Angeles' streets continues unabated. Less than a week after hundreds of people gathered at the L.A. StreetSummit to discuss how to tame traffic and make Los Angeles' streets more livable, the City Council Transportation Committee is expected to hear, debate, and pass three speed limit increases in the San Fernando Valley at 2:00 p.M. this Wednesday in City Hall. In a way, its kind of a sobering crash back to reality. After a week of being reminded of what could be, activists are back to where we are...fighting speed limit increases that represent the exact opposite kind of thinking to what we talked about all weekend.

With apologies to Professor Gottlieb and the rest of the speakers from Occidental College, I'm just posting the parts where Sadik-Kahn is speaking.
