Queer LA Urbanist. Wanderlust. 🚲🚇🌆🏕️✈️⛷️🐈🏳️‍🌈 (He/Him) All opinions are my own.

It would be such an upgrade if the upcoming arrival signs facing folks exiting rail stations showed connecting bus departures vs the trains you’re walking away from! Also some signs on the D line extension seem to randomly use different fonts for some numbers? 🚇🚌🚏 @metrolosangeles.bsky.social

Walked to the Central Library after work to see the worlds largest pop-up book + grab a stamp & learned the architect is carved into the Hope St. entrance, saw a remnant of the formerly lost fountain of scribes, & a banner from Burbank airport for the ‘94 World Cup that hung at Central for this one!

WeHo approved 24-hour bus bike lanes on La Cienega this week (contingent on LA also moving forward on their segment). These would reduce travel times by 9-10 minutes, improve reliability, & provide connections to the Wilshire/La Cienega D Line Station ahead of the LA28 Olympics. 🚌💨👏🏻

One quirk of the water main break is Metro’s route 2 that normally runs on sunset is running on Santa Monica through WeHo & both come frequently already so the spine of WeHo has insanely good bus service right now with near constant buses + no north south transfers to sunset! 🚌🚌🚌

They may not be full protected bike lanes (yet) but excited existing bike lanes in #WeHo are getting the high visibility green treatment soon! The temporary markings out on the streets show where future green paint will go shortly. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 #bikelanws

Flying out of Burbank for the first time in awhile today. Nice to see the progress on the replacement terminal. I’ll miss the short walk from the Metrolink station, but thankful there still won’t be jet bridges so we’ll keep the novelty of walking up to the plane. 🛫🚞 🤓

End of an era! Stopped by the City maintenance yard to pick up the last sign for a speed limit above 30 mph in WeHo today! Thinking I’ll put this up at my desk and use it as a zoom background… 🧐

Rode the last of the interurbans while we were in Chicago! The US used to have 1,500 interurban lines between cities and towns covering 16,000 miles of track and only this 90 mile line in Indiana and Illinois remains operating more like commuter rail these days.🚃🤓

Can any Chicago folk weigh in on the SSL website and google disagreeing on eastbound departure times? 10:30 & 11:45 departures don’t seem to exist in google maps? Always wanted to take the South Shore Line (the last interurban!) and have a friend in Indiana we’re debating getting coffee with Monday

Highly encourage any WeHo or nearby residents to come to this community meeting on Tuesday! We'll be sharing the latest on the City's first protected bike lanes and other safety improvements. 🚲📆✌🏻

New fare gates are up at Vermont/Santa Monica. It seems like they are set to require tap out which was a surprise. Still saw plenty of people use the emergency exits so unclear what the benefit of these will be on reducing fare evasion if that’s their purpose...
