Thanks for this. The CBC did an interview with LA's mayor re: the proposed bike facilities, but I missed hearing it. But it does seem like bike facilities are becoming popular in major metro areas in North America. There's been the usual controversy in Vancouver, but building facilities has tangibly increased cyclist numbers on the streets.

Here's a picture of my bike on the Ballona Bike Trail, near Marina Del Rey!
