Present and Future Westside Councilmen Working to Fix Dangerous Expo Bikeway Intersection
(Note/Disclosure: It's a little awkward for me to write about this as I'm currently the CD11 representative to the Expo Bicycle Advisory Committee, and I didn't want my opinions to become the quasi-official views of the committee. However, because the disagreement over the design of the bikeway is becoming more public, and because I'm in discussions to find a replacement for me once Mike Bonin replaces Bill Rosendahl as the CD 11 Council Member; I think I'm in the clear.)

The Challenge Of Getting The Expo Bikeway Done Right
After a delay that had left many Expo Line Bicycle Advisory Committee members uncomfortable, given the pace that major elements of bridge construction are, the committee final met again this Tuesday with Expo project representatives. Damien covered some of the concerns going into this meeting in a post last week. Given the significance of this project and the narrowing scope of possibilities with every passing week and month as railway design and construction lock in constraints, it’s important to keep the dialogue going about the Expo bikeway.
