Venice NC Committee Calls for Data on, Not Termination of, Mar Vista Road Diet
For those of us living near the Great Streets/Vision Zero pilot program in West Los Angeles, every day brings new developments in the back-and-forth between advocates for safe streets and advocates for car commuters frustrated by delay. The road diet turned a six-lane road with a bike lane and car parking into a two-lane road with a parking-protected bike lane. The pilot project is set to run for one year, with reports coming in every three months.

It’s Time to Rename #DamienTalks
As hopefully all of you know, I’ve been working on a podcast for a year and a half covering livable streets in the San Gabriel Valley.
