Literal "not in my backyard" neighbor opposition hampered the creation of the E/Expo Line light rail, and the current push to close the E Line bike path gap

This week, LADOT issued another update - kicking the timeline a year down the road: "Construction is anticipated to begin Spring 2024."

The two-acre site, straddling the Metro E Line, cleanses urban runoff before it flows into the Santa Monica Bay

Several modest improvements - new signage, pedestrian head-start signal, flashing yellow right-turn arrow - made one well-used Westside crosswalk much safer

Few lockers and plenty of bike theft along the Expo Line. E-lockers could help make first/last mile bicycling a more reliable option.

Paul Koretz has delivered is the worst section of the Expo Line. Koretz’ section has a mile-long gap in the bike path. Koretz’ section has kids walking in the street because of a missing sidewalk between the Palms Station and Lycée Français High School.

I am City Councilmember Paul Koretz’ appointee to the City of Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC).

(On Tuesday night, an email from our friend Jonathan Weiss appeared in the Streetsblog inbox celebrating what appears to be a successful conclusion to the Expo Greenway proposal to create an environmentally friendly water garden.  Weiss's email can be found below.  For more Streetsblog coverage of the Greenway, click here.  For more coverage of this week's announcement, visit Rancho Park Online. - DN)
