How many people have to die for Los Angeles to take street safety for non drivers seriously? People should be able to get around our city without fearing for their lives Our government is absolutely failing us when it comes to infrastructure improvements

Very well said, all of it by @bikinginla.bsky.social . This sucks. It seems yet another example of how you can murder someone with your car and just stick around, you can get away with it.

Context: in 2014, LA Council member Gil Cedillo cancelled a planned bike lane on this dangerous section of road. This is the 5th cyclist fatality there since 2014. The victim was run over from behind by a driver, the most common type of car-bike collision. Protected bike lanes largely prevent this

This is in the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council district where I represent the adjacent neighborhood of Mt. Washington. North Figueroa is a dangerous road and should be reconfigured to prioritize people’s safety over parking convenience. We have the tools and the plans to fix this today. Enough.

Look, I'm sorry. But I've just got nothing left to give after writing about yet another SoCal bike death, and yet another death from traffic violence on North Fig. This is all just so fucking needless, and so fucking endless. I'll see you all next week, and we'll start over.

I'm too damn tired to express my anger right now. But this man's blood is on Cedillo's hands.

Just saw Citizen video of the aftermath of a motorist vs. bicycle crash at Sunset and Detroit a little before 4 pm. Police blocked off the entire street on Detroit, which usually indicates a very serious crash.

Not only did I just have the best conversation I’ve ever had with an Uber driver, but after he dropped us off, I saw him get out of his car to help a little old lady get in, and gave her a hug first.

I'll be back to our regular morning update on Wednesday, if drivers will just stop killing us. And let's reform California laws to give prosecutors the option of charging hit-and-run drivers with 2nd degree murder.

Oh, nothing. Just another SoCal bike rider murdered by a hit-an-run driver. I would literally rather write about anything else, just like I'm sure you'd rather read it. So no morning links on Tuesday, so I can write about it. Can I scream now? I want to scream now.

I had a bad reaction to Moderna's flu/covid vaccines and have been down for the count for the past 24 hours, so no morning update for Thursday. Yet these damn SoCal drivers won't stop killing us long enough to let me lie in my own damn misery.

The bad news is that Newsom also signed SB 194, interfering on behalf of a couple of wealthy cemeteries to keep Forest Lawn Drive deadly.

None of those deaths were, or could have been, avoided by the rider's wearing a helmet.

Anyone in SoCal who claims there’s a “war on cars” can kiss my ass. If you use that phrase unironically you are not to be taken seriously. In fact, just fuck right off.

Statements like that from the “former city planner” simply serve as confirmation to me that yes: these are exactly the type of people in charge of planning our city. They don’t understand LA, they have learned no lessons from cities around the world, and they like the status quo.
