Everything that makes my dinner spot in Spain charming is illegal in most of the US: - zero parking - no setbacks - mixed use - single-stair buildings - a street width most fire departments wouldn’t allow I think it should be legal to build this in any US city, by right.

The finishing touches on the Mid City Greenway are going in, here is the new Toucan Signal at Rosewood / Crescent Heights. There will also be a bike-only signal at La Cienega and Rosewood.

LADOT’s second Toronto barrier installation and the first outside DTLA on Imperial Highway. These will also be used on the Spring/Alameda project, and likely on Ohio. Great option for true Class IV protection. Bravo LADOT — let’s replace all K71’s citywide!

Not only does Mexico City protect its bike lanes well with very inexpensive barriers, but they also blink at night to be extra visible. Protected bike lanes don’t have to cost a fortune.

Even with an iconic transit line opening, @metrolosangeles.bsky.social sends out an email giving instructions only for people driving; apparently they’re even validating 🙃

Amazing to me that the Mayor of LA sent out an email update on her plans for climate action improving infrastructure and there's zero mention of bike or bus lanes, Measure HLA, first/last mile to Metro, or anything else that would actually help reduce VMT. Instead it's about EVs!

There’s only one candidate running for CA Senate District 24 who is a champion of safer streets and building more housing at the scale we need. Vote for @johnericksonwh.bsky.social by June 2, we need a fighter like him in Sacramento!

American fire departments: - demand wide (unsafe) roads - multiple car-length red zones for hydrants - huge fire trucks Somehow in Japan: - trucks half the size that still put out fires - tiny zones for hydrants (helped by no street parking) - narrow (safer) roads everywhere

Michael Schneider @michaelschneider.com · 28/03/2026

Meanwhile in Japan… Having an amazing bullet train system with 4 minute headways since the 60s wasn’t good enough so they’re doing this. I’m so tired of the US spending nearly all its transportation money on car infrastructure. I want nice things in my country too.

Only in LA is it somehow legal to create parking spaces that by definition you have to drive *on the sidewalk* to park in them. We’ll never get close to Vision Zero when pedestrians are such an afterthought.

After the death of a pregnant mom riding a bike with her family, Traci Park all of a sudden cares about bike lanes. But the bike lanes they’re proposing aren’t safe! They’re door zone bike lanes. Even after a tragic death, protected bike lanes aren’t being considered.

2349

Michael Schneider @michaelschneider.com · 28/02/2026

Traci Park came into office deriding Bonin’s road safety improvements. Now, all of a sudden, she cares about Pershing — a street that HAD a bike lane and lost it thanks to NIMBYs. LA deserves Councilmembers who care about road safety all the time, not just in response to tragedy.

How is it legal for @nbcla.com to hover since 6am above my house like this and wake us all up earlier than we’d like? How many other households were woken up because they decided to do this? Why are they allowed to do this completely arbitrarily?

Yesterday Mayor Bass said that the greatest test of LA is if people can actually afford to live here. Ironic that it’s her own policies (watering down ED1, opposing SB-79, preserving single family zoning at all costs) that keep LA unaffordable. Remarkable self unawareness.

I will never understand why @ladotofficial.bsky.social does 3 years of planning and outreach for 1 year of construction. THIS is why things take so long and cost so much.
