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

Caltrans is expanding freeways all over California. Tearing down hundreds of homes and businesses. Don’t believe the “we have completely done a 180” hype. A new Caltrans report – required by 2023 transparency legislation – has the receipts.

Mark your calendar: five miles of ‘Corazon Del Valle’ opens streets are coming to El Monte and South El Monte on November 2! It’s an Active Streets event – brought to you by the same folks who brought you the 110 Freeway Arroyo Fest event.

Plenty of carnage-ridden headlines, too.
