@metrolosangeles.bsky.social Pretty embarrassing when the next train arrival signs in our brand new $3.5 billion subway extension look like this @metrolosangeles... Nice to see healthy ridership at Wilshire La Cienega though!

@npr.org I figured out the women’s L crop top in your merch is about a men’s M but what if you just sold them in both men’s and women’s sizes? 👕 🤔

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! 🚌🚌🚌

I don’t understand why every design for this is so overcomplicated. This should just be a simple extension of grand park next door. No buildings or parking, just grass, shade, and maybe tables or a fountain. No need to cram in temporary parking, sports med, and a gallery… Fixed it for them:

Hey, #WeHo! Come hang with us bright & early Thursday AM and rally for the K Line Northern Extension, the San Vicente Route, and new rail to Mid City , Weho, & Hollywood before Metro makes their final decision in the coming weeks. Grab some k line swag, coffee, & pastries on your way to work. 🚇📢🪧👏🏻

Update some green showing in the conflict stripping this morning!

David Fenn @dcfenn.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
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

These would be just east of WeHo, but would speed up transit + improve reliability on Metro route 2 to/from #WeHo during rush hour similar to the recent La Brea lanes. I’m excited to see more of these going in & could not be more supportive. 🚌💨🤩 Details here: www.weho.org/Home/Compone...

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… 🧐

Not sure when google maps added these transit direction Home Screen and Dynamic Island widgets but they’re pretty cool! 🚇 🗺️🤩

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.🚃🤓

Finally biked the lakefront trail to Hollywood Beach! As an Angeleno, lake beaches are confusing but the trail was great!

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

@ladotofficial.bsky.social testing out upgraded protected bike lane barriers around the corner from us. Concrete is so much more protective than flimsy plastic bollards or paint. Take their survey and tell them these are great and we need them citywide here: form.typeform.com/to/mKQsn7LQ?...

Denali National Park has a pretty cool ‘lil bus system dating back to the 70’s. It’s less pleasant in the rain though… 😅🚌🏔️

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. 🚲📆✌🏻

Update: the new fare gates were mysteriously open on my way home?!

David Fenn @dcfenn.bsky.social · 28/07/2025
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...

New LAX Metro Transit Center looking great!

Excited to ride in the final (& my 1st) AIDS Lifecycle all 545 miles from SF to LA next week. In this final stretch (+Pride!), I’m just shy of my $4k fundraising goal. Can you chip in to help close the gap & support the LA LGBT Center + SF AIDS Foundation? giving.aidslifecycle.org/index.cfm?fu...

Update: I got a new boi on the way home with the wrong destination on the header sign but it still had the CRRD manufacturer branding in the ad panels so wondering if she might be a recent delivery and not fully set up yet?

David Fenn @dcfenn.bsky.social · 21/05/2025
Was excited for a new subway train yesterday but she turned out to be an old Breda painted with a yellow snoot to match the new bois. This morning’s Pride train did spark joy though! 🚇🏳️‍🌈✨

Checked out LA’s newest bike path today. Despite a $143 million price tag and endless delays, the “rail to rail” trail along Slauson somehow manages to end two blocks short of both the A and K line stations on either end despite fenced off empty lots of former ROW between it and said stations… 🫣🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

Proud of everyone from our union who showed up and spoke up at City Council last night! Our City Council's agenda is rightly bold & ambitious, but we need staffing & resources to match that with meaningful prioritization of and commitment to established work plans to be effective civil servants.

We missed the opening of the Redmond extension by <1 week, but still got to check out some of Seattle’s newest light rail stations with the Lynwood Link extension that opened last August! These are pretty suburban stations, but the views make me wish we had more elevated in LA. 🚋✨🤓 #SoundTransit

Nerded out at the Boeing Factory Tour! The 777Xs and upcoming additional 737 production lines are new from the last time I was here but sad the 787s are all being made in Charleston now. ✈️✨🤓

No AIDS Lifecycle training rides this weekend but got a good one in two weeks back! The landslide portion of Palos Verdes was harrowing to say the least but the views were stunning. <$400 to go to my fundraising goal. Help out here if you can?🚴‍♂️🏳️‍🌈🙏🏻 giving.aidslifecycle.org/index.cfm?fu...

Before, during, and after this weekend’s AIDS Lifecycle training rides with @dbishe.com. Not as long as some prior ones but definitely got some hills in and have some wild sunburns to show for it… 😅🚲😖

First time catching one of the new HR4000 Subway trains on the B (Red) line today! 🚇✨🥰 I’ll forgive them the signage glitches out of excitement around more of these rolling out but it is funny that even their new friends don’t have the new line names on their electronic monitors… 😂

Bus bunching delays on the 4 are such a buzzkill on a route that would have solid frequency otherwise… 🚌😮‍💨
