Building a transportation revolution in Los Angeles 🚎🚌🚲🛴👩🏻🦽🚶🏾🌳 streetsforall.org
Why did we buy newspaper ads in South Carolina and Nevada? Because Gavin Newsom wants a national audience—and voters deserve to know he supported a plan that could take $2 billion from transit, housing, clean water to benefit industrial polluters. Join our funding rally on Aug 10th
Our county transportation agency prioritizes people in cars over people on bikes. "Metro and LADOT recently installed bike lanes on Terra Bella to replace bike lanes being removed from Van Nuys Bl (in order to retain car travel lanes and parking)." la.streetsblog.org/2026/07/27/n...
New Terra Bella Bike Lanes Partially Replacing Van Nuys Bike Lanes - Streetsblog Los Angeles
The "replacement" bikeway falls short on both quantity and quality: Metro/LADOT are removing 5.6 partially protected lane-miles and adding back just 4.8 lane-miles, all unprotected

BREAKING: Jason Gibbs doesn’t get ratified for the Metro board, the issue is sent back to the region. Thank you to everyone who called and wrote in. We need a transit champion on the Metro board — not a lover of expanding highways.

Penny wise, Pothole Foolish. “According to the city’s own measurements, 60% of its streets were in good condition a year ago. Now it’s 53%. The city’s crumbling roads lay bare the costs of the city’s addiction to band-aid budgeting.” open.substack.com/pub/lareport...

What’s the real cause of L.A.'s crumbling roads? The city's broken budgeting process.

We won! Two bad e-bike bills are dead and our sponsored e-bike bill, SB 1167 by Sen Blakespear rolls on. Thank you to everyone who called their legislators and a very big thank you to @buffywicks.bsky.social!

Our sponsored bill SB 1167 (Blakespear) just passed unanimously out of the CA State Senate 🙌 This bill clamps down on illegal e-motos being sold as “e-bikes” - ensuring that consumers are buying devices that meet legal safety standards.
In the 1920s, LA had the largest rail system in the world! When we dismantled it, we also gave away the space it took up to cars. As a result, some of our streets are overly wide, often with dangerous slip lanes. It’s time to reclaim this extra space for people.
WEDNESDAY: *If you live in Burbank* please show up and make public comment in support of a dedicated bus lane on Olive to make the NoHo-Pasadena BRT possible. Details: mailchi.mp/streetsforal...
