In August, Streetsblog L.A. first reported on the L.A. City Transportation Department's (LADOT) new pilot Toronto barriers protecting the Third Street bikeway in downtown L.A.
The concrete-barrier-protected bikeway now extends the entire block, about 300 feet from Spring Street to Main Street. There's a short mid-block gap to allow firefighter access to a hydrant.
LADOT wants your feedback on the barriers, via an online survey. Submit your input by October 31.
