The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog L.A.

Metro and Caltrans tore out hundreds of L.A. County homes to expand freeways – all during the most recent five-year reporting period.

Santa Monica is installing new sidewalks, crosswalks, protected bike lanes and more – to better connect transit riders to the 28th Street / Bergamot Metro E Line Station.

Next Monday, Metro will close off four blocks of Wilshire Blvd. for three weeks. Expect bus detours, but take some comfort that this means that subway construction is far enough along to restore streets. Details at SBLA’s weekly calendar.

Honey, I shrunk the headlines.
