Cartoon Tuesday: Neighborhood Council Meeting Bike Lane Bingo

It's not quite a cartoon, but it is a clever, sad, ironic laugh. Friend of the blog Nathan Lucero posted his Bike Lane meeting bingo card at the Figueroa for All Facebook group.

Not all neighborhood councils are the same; many have been very supportive of facilities for bicycling and walking. It does seem like there is, more often than not, a few complainers who trot out tired excuses for opposing these safety projects. Lucero's card specifically references the sad, ironic struggle to make North Figueroa safer, in the face of Councilmember Cedillo's flip-flop, a story you can read here, here, and here. The meetings are still happening as Cedillo's staff are still pressing for crappy alternative bike routes to keep North Figueroa car-centric and dangerous.

So far, there is only one bingo card, so everyone will be calling bingo at the same moment.
