Today’s Headlines

Featured Headlines: Yesterday we linked to an article about LADOT's plans for 20 miles of new Sharrowed Streets.  Late last night, Joe Linton wrote a pretty detailed takedown of the LADOT's Sharrows plans.  Linton questioned whether the Sharrows would be counted as part of the mayor's/city's pledge to 40 miles of bike facilities a year even though many of them weren't in the 5 Year Implementation Plan, whether or nor the city is going to put down Sharrows and consider a street  a Bike Friendly Street, and why some streets that are scheduled for Bike Lanes are getting Sharrows.  We'll try and get some answers from LADOT to Linton's questions, but in the meantime his questions are worth a look.
