Patrick @usaisaok.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This is in the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council district where I represent the adjacent neighborhood of Mt. Washington.

Patrick @usaisaok.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Spoke to a friend last night that took the D Line for the first time ever earlier in the week to go to a night time event at LACMA. Nothing but rave reviews and how it allowed him to get there faster and more cheaply (no parking $$ no gas $$). D Line extension will continue to be a game changer. 2110
Reposted by PatrickAlissa Walker @awalkerinla.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Meet LA's very first speed camera, now installed outside Kingsley Elementary in East Hollywood. 125 cameras will go up over the next month, mostly near schools. No citations issued until 2027. Here's where you can check the location and status of all the cameras: ladot.lacity.gov/speed-safety... 411527
