LADOT: We Were Never Considering Removing Bike Lanes on Reseda Blvd.
Yesterday I got an e-mail from Carolyn Jackson at the Los Angeles Department of Transportation which basically said that the LADOT has no plans to remove bike lanes or change the street parking patterns to increase peak hour travel on Reseda Boulevard. Realizing that she was facing a skeptical audience of one, Jackson even included an email from the LADOT to the Northridge West Neighborhood Council to prove her point.

DOT Working to Remove Reseda Blvd. Bike Lane
Ted Rogers, who's Biking In LA blog should be required reading for L.A. cyclists, has discovered a plot in the Valley to take out a Bike Lane on Resedal Blvd., along with street parking, to double the car-capacity of the road at rush hour. Apparently, traffic engineers in the West Valley Department of Transportation decided that not enough cyclists use the lane to justify its existance.

Sometimes a Bike Lane Isn’t Enough
Yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure of riding with a handful of bike activists from around the city to the A.B. 766 press conference in Coldwater Canyon Park. I expected a pleasant ride to and from the park, after all most of it would be on Chandler Blvd., which has bike lanes on both sides of the street and runs parallel to the Orange Line Bike Trail.
