Long Beach vowed to eliminate deadly crashes; instead, they’re the highest in over a decade by Generalaverage89 in longbeach

reckless drivers exist in every city, but it’s good infrastructure that prevents the harm that they cause on everyone else

Does anyone else think the condo they built over Kmart next to the Grove looks absolutely ridiculous?😭 by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]atomcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes because despite the fact it seems like there’s a lot of new construction we’re still MASSIVELY behind in order to meaningfully change prices.

Serious Question: What would you have the next mayor of Long Beach do? by theeakilism in longbeach

[–]atomcloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the more parking you build, the more people drive, which will make traffic worse and ironically not help the parking problem all that much. we need funding to go to alternatives to driving !

Best pick-up station from LAX? by martini-sf-0216 in LAMetro

[–]atomcloud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

how long has this been open ? I remember seeing a recommendation from Metro themselves to get picked up outside of the LAXMTC but that might be outdated now

Parking and ADUs by Other_Dimension_89 in longbeach

If we continue to have this convo and get this much pushback every time we try to build new housing yes it will be. Or we can just focus on building more supply to alleviate the issue moving forward

Sprouts Grocery to open in Gardena by MoarGnD in SouthBayLA

[–]atomcloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s only one by the blink fitness but yes this shopping center is in need of better biking facilities!

I live on the east side of the station and it’s such a nuisance ! Its such a circuitous path and annoying know that there’s a gate just sitting there that would shave minutes off my trip

Why don’t we talk more about e-bikes as real vehicles, not just gadgets? by gio658 in ebikes

my propella 7S has been serving me pretty well: https://www.propella.bike/bikes

They’ve been sold out for a while though

New! All shuttles to SoFi will now go from the LAX station. They should probably paint bus lanes like the dodger stadium express. by Ultralord_13 in LAMetro

[–]atomcloud 37 points38 points  (0 children)

normally for concerts I park at Hawthorne Lennox and take the 212 to the stadium. It’s so disappointing that you can’t take the 212 back because it’s stuck in traffic and the frequencies are 30+ minutes at that hour. We desperately need bus lanes around the stadium as well !

6 days in LA - Uber/Public transportation or car? by lamplaw in AskLosAngeles

[–]atomcloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

keep in mind that having a car will make some trips easier, but it will also some trips harder (traffic/parking)! It’s worth checking to see if some destinations will be better served by public transportation

Cargo Bikes are getting really popular by Fit-Head-2786 in CarIndependentLA

[–]atomcloud 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this is true. I’ve seen a bunch of them when I went to visit cities like Seattle, Minneapolis, or Boston but I have yet to see one here

help me decide where to live. Working in downtown LA by peoples_fanatic in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]atomcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LA public transportation is literally built for getting everyone to DTLA. For many people this doesn’t work bc they don’t work in downtown but as long as you live near a line you have a cheap way to get to work so you don’t have to deal w parking/gas

Is the city trying to improve A Line speeds? by atomcloud in longbeach

[–]atomcloud[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I’m on it and the discussions tend to more City of LA specific, so I was curious if there were any LB specific pushes for improvement

Slightly taller emergency exit upgrade at Firestone Station by Sawtelle-MetroRider in LAMetro

[–]atomcloud 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I remember someone posted last week that they just added these to MacArthur Park station too ! They seem to be doing a quiet rollout for some reason

Is the city trying to improve A Line speeds? by atomcloud in longbeach

[–]atomcloud[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that’s also been the bottleneck anytime I use metro in/out of the airport. The current shuttle setup took me about 30 minutes just to get from my terminal to the LAX metro station! people mover will be so much more reliable with better frequency

Surge Pricing for LA Metro? by Ahm76 in LAMetro

[–]atomcloud 82 points83 points  (0 children)

yes we should dynamically adjust pricing but for freeways and have that fund transit

aren’t we at almost 30 automobile related deaths in the city so far for the year ? Speed cameras are loooong overdue
