We are saddened by the death of @TomLaBonge. Forever known as "Mr. Los Angeles," he was instrumental in the initial instillation of the lane reconfiguration on Rowena.
His actions on Rowena saved lives.

Silver Lake Together, a so-called advocacy group, just sent out a newsletter calling for police enforcement against people sleeping in their vehicles and for LAPD to patrol Silver Lake Blvd. You can call them out on their racist actions here: silverlaketogether.com/copy-…

A person was killed by driver who was speeding and weaving around cars on W. Silver Lake Blvd.
Our streets are lethal by design.
Fewer cars on the road yet fatalities are increasing.

Remember the good old days when cut-through traffic on Angus was being used as a reason by #trafficsafetydeniers to undo the traffic calming safety measures on Rowena?
Here’s a photo of Angus from yesterday at 5:30 pm.

@MayorOfLA There are now more people walking, running and on bikes than people driving cars in the streets of LA. Let’s configure our streets to reflect that. Oakland is closing 74 miles of streets to vehicular traffic - we have no excuse not to do the same.
Me to mom: where did you take these guys before #OaklandSlowStreets?
Mom: we used to drive out to a parking lot in Lafayette
There is a huge need for safe streets.

LADOT has contacted us for help in identifying streets where trash cans frequently block the bike lane. They've created a Google form to collect this information and ask for your submissions by Friday April 3. Remember, this is only for City of LA. Thanks bit.ly/2UianCy

As many of you saw, we lost another young life due to traffic violence yesterday, a 12 year old. That's 18 ppl so far this year. I've drafted a quick email you can send to
@CurrenDPriceJr, but feel free to tweak and send to
@MayorOfLA or @LADOTofficial. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

This is three blocks from my home. 😢
Thing is, the signage is the max that LADOT will do without requiring a traffic signal. However, if the speed limit on this street was only 5 MPH slower (25 instead of 30), this could be a simple stop sign.
Instead, this.
C’mon, LA.

The morning of 2/11 a 50 year old woman was struck by a hit and run driver while in the crosswalk at Lyman and Fountain.
@LAPDHQ only regards this as a crime because the driver did not “stop and render aid”.
Nevermind that the victim was legally crossing in a crosswalk.

Hey @BikeMetro your Bike Share docks on Tracy require a user to cross 2 crosswalks to get tog them. Also require you to cross the #HyperionSpeedway to get to the bike lanes on Griffith Park Blvd
Finally @BikeMetro why no Bike Share dock at W. Silver Lake Drive and Rowena, where there are bike lanes that people actually use?
