the mayor of LA is implementing policy to reclaim LA streets for bicyclists thru interventions proven in other countries to foster greater ridership.
what's the problem, myrridin? Status quo traffic congestion can't be changed? More people wouldn't bicycle in LA if infrastructure and social changes were implemented in the city?
Yes, people want to ride bikes in LA. The mayor wants more people to ride bikes. Planners and transportation officials see the net benefits in fairly considering bike and pedestrian traffic in infrastructure design. Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and improvement in traffic flow are music to the ears of transportation officials.
why so much animosity towards reclaiming the bicycle as transportation, myrridin? are you really concerned about bicyclists in Los Angeles, or motorists? you posts paint you as an apologist for the current dysfunctional transportation model.
I suggest taking a bike to LA. I also suggest talking to the locals there about traffic.
There's such a strong group neurotic affect among the residents of LA about the traffic it's SHOCKING.
