The City of Los Angeles is pushing ahead with a pair of hearings on the progressive "draft parking ordinance" that would change the landscape when it comes to providing ways for people to safely and quickly store their bikes.

The Problem(s) with Westlake MacArthur Park
Last week, Metro Chair Ara Najarian penned a piece for The Source announcing that bicycle parking is coming to the Westlake/MacArthur Park T.O.D. at some point in the future.
