I‘m sick of watching the bodies pile. I‘m sick of bankrupting myself just to travel safely in this city.

I want bike lanes. I want bus lanes. I want the Freedom to take non-car options to get to my destination in a reasonable amount of time, and in a manner that I don’t have to worry about dying to get there.

I’m done with Los Angeles Carmunism.

Hey all. Traci Park (yes) and Heather Hutt both put out a motion recently to request that the Venice Beach portion of the Marvin Braude bike path be repaved and widened to accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists. The motion also left room open for the potential of improving the Washington Boulevard section of the bike path (her team recently hired USC to do a study of that section so it is very much on her radar: https://www.venicenc.org/assets/documents/5/meeting6a1350b0a1f54.pdf).

If you want to see this effort prioritized by her and LADOT, this is where to leave your comment:

It would be very helpful to follow up the written comment up with a call to Traci Park’s City Hall Office so they know it’s a mass of real people that want this, and not just a bunch of bots:

Hi there. My name is [name], zip code [zip code]. I’m reaching out today to express my support to have the Venice portion of the Marvin Braude bike path repaved and widened. I’m a frequent user of the path for commuting as well as recreation. I would also like to request that this motion be amended to include a fully protected bike path along Washington Boulevard. Thank you very much again for introducing this motion.
