At today's WSCCOG meeting Beverly Hills announced that they will not be implementing the bus only lanes on La Cienega Boulevard within their city limits (the green portion of the map) that runs from Clifton Way south to Olympic Boulevard despite them still being built in West Hollywood, Los Angeles and Culver City.

The proposed improvements would bring bus only lanes, transit signal priority and queue jumps to La Cienega Boulevard La Metro Route #105 stretching from Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood south the D Line at La Cienega/Wilshire in Beverly Hills and further south to the E Line La Cienega Station in Culver City.

City staff didn't even bring the item to city council to vote on and per the council rep at today's meeting that decision was based on the fact the the one community meeting they held for it in Beverly Hills (out of 6 meetings total) didn't have enough attendance to warrant the implementation for the lanes despite the corridor recieving the most feedback out of any of the others for this project especially because it would have also provided a direct bicycle connection to West Hollywood as well.

What did Todd say to Bronwyn in the trailer?

Kyle Brazeal posted about having the highest percentage of local donations but the majority of said donations ($25,000 per Form 460) came from himself and not actual supporters.

As part of the WSCOGG Westside Bus Improvement project La Cienega Boulevard between Washington Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard are getting bus only lanes and transit signal priority equipment! This will help train passengers at the La Cienega D Line and E line stations reach WeHo quicker.

As part of the approval the WeHo city council is requesting LA METRO increased the headways of line 105 from 10 minutes to 7.5 minutes. A few people on and around the council don’t seem to think that matters but let me tell you that most days the busses do not come every 10 or even 20 minutes longer due to bus bunching and other delays. Yesterday I had to wait over 20 minutes for a bus which doubled my entire commute. Metro running more busses that wont get stuck in traffic will be a game changer!

Excited for this project to be built next year and open in 2028 in time for the Olympics!

Is anyone else extremely worried about this? Can things turn around after midterms perhaps?
