Streetfilms con subtítulos: Lessons From LA: A Rush Hour Drive with a City Planner.

I have to be honest, I’ve owed Deborah Murphy an apology for over three years.  You see, I misheard the director and I told her to wear a white shirt to the filming of  Lessons From LA: A Rush Hour Drive with a City Planner.  Now seems as good a time as ever to make that apology in writing.

Sorry, Deborah.

This is a fun little Streetfilm we put together in 2008.  Given L.A.’s national reputation as “Car Culture Capital” we thought it would be fun to take a long time transportation reformer and make her talk about L.A. while driving around Hollywood at rush hour.  Perverse of us.

A lot of you have probably never seen this film, as L.A. Streetblog’s readership was less than 1/6th of what it is now, so this reposting provides a great chance to see it again or for the first time.

A full list of all the other films David Barboza has subtitled for us can be found after the jump.

Streetfilms: A Rush Hour Conversation with Deborah Murphy

Never let it be said that transportation reform advocates don’t have a sense of humor. How else can you explain the decision to take one of Los Angeles’ best known pedestrian advocates and interview her while driving around the Hollywoods at rush hour on a Friday night? Streetfilms Nicholas Whitaker took a back seat, rush hour ride […]

Streetfilms con subtítulos: Eco-Village

The good news? David Barboza has translated another “L.A. Streetfilm” and provided subtitles for a classic Streetfilm. If there’s one group of people that have supported Streetsblog and everything we’ve been trying to do, it’s the Los Angeles Eco-Village. Both as an organization, the Eco-Village has sponsored two fundraisers, and as individuals, it seems everytime […]

Santa Monica’s Savvy Multimodalism Shows Moxie

|
Santa Monica certainly has a wave of transportation wonders taking flight. Like many cities they seem to be trying out a heaping of everything: bike share, a mix of bike lane treatments, a new rail line, neighborhood greenways, a pedestrian action plan (incorporating Vision Zero), a new people-friendly promenade/protected cycletrack where the Expo line terminates and of course they always have the hard-to-miss Big […]
