Featured Headlines (Bikes!): Bikeside has published the preliminary results of its simple survey, Is L.A. Bike Friendly?  Almost 70% of all respondents wrote that L.A. is not.  A secondary finding?  The more regular you ride, the more likely you are to say that the city is bike friendly.  Hmm.  You can see more results, here.  You can take the survey, here.

Featured Headlines (Trains!): The Final EIR is out for the Crenshaw Line and available for public comment.  However, just because the document was approved by the FTA, doesn't mean that the debate on the route, grade separation and stations is over.  Streetsblog has had plenty of coverage of the controversy so far (search for "Crenshaw Line" and "Leimert Park.")  If you want a quick synopsis, check out The Source.  Curbed notes that the biggest news in the document is that a bridge will be built over the 405.
