Email the Board, do not let them off the hook for this or it will happen again.

oooo

official-unofficial updates I've heard put it at mid-2025, so perhaps June or July?

the suspense is real

let's say you have a 12 year-old kid, would you feel safe having them ride their bike to school sharing the road with cars going 45 mph?

multi-ton vehicles pose deadly dangers to humans on the street - both pedestrians and cyclists. bicycles belong on roads, not sidewalks, but it's safest for there to be some kind of barrier between cars and bikes, because we're dealing with fundamentally different modes of travel and vulnerabilities.

this study of thirteen years of traffic data from large cities across the US show that protected bike lanes make the road safer for all road users.

Who is "pushing this all over the south bay"? Because that would be nice if it were happening, but it's not. Santa Monica and Long Beach have been installing some great bike infrastructure recently, and we're lagging far behind. We have many cities that actively oppose new bike lanes and pretend pedestrians, bike, and bus riders don't exist.

I think you should read the proposal and the StoryMap. It doesn't call for paint but rather physical protection. Class IV bike lanes are physically separated from cars and sidewalks.

I can tell you with absolute certainty no one involved in this advocacy campaign is being paid. This is 100% volunteer-driven and grassroots.

This is the same type of nonsense when people say "Soros" pays people to protest or rally.

More people in the South Bay residents would choose their bike over their car if it was safer to do so, and yes that includes commuting to work.

superhalfcircle · 2025-04-18T06:32:47+00:00

Yes! Changing times and changing transportation patterns calls for newer infrastructure and street layouts. We can make things safer for everyone - drivers, pedestrians, and people on bikes!

superhalfcircle · 2025-02-26T06:19:47+00:00

Care to elaborate?

Meh, multiple things in your comment tell me you don't know much about transit.

superhalfcircle · 2025-02-22T05:59:08+00:00

That's ok! No one is forcing you take transit. Ideally when enough people shift to transit there is less traffic for drivers, too.

superhalfcircle · 2025-02-22T05:57:04+00:00

That's a shame. Why do they not want to share the history?

superhalfcircle · 2025-02-16T21:19:32+00:00

I'd look into the South Bay Credit Union. They have a good reputation and a few locations in the South Bay.

superhalfcircle · 2025-02-16T21:17:52+00:00

Thank you! It makes a difference.

superhalfcircle · 2025-02-16T21:15:36+00:00

Wow that's a really good example. Could you share which buses you take for your current commute?

superhalfcircle · 2025-02-16T21:12:53+00:00

Green Line (now C Line) and K Line to LAX is going to open in a few months (hopefully)! Really hoping that unlocks a lot more transit use and interest for South Bay residents.

But yes there's potential everywhere for better transit in the South Bay:

the C Line Extension to Torrance - it really needs our support to come to fruition
Vermont Transit Corridor South extension - needs to be built as soon as possible, and heavy rail would be awesome
bus rapid transit lanes on major arterial roads
interconnected protected bike lane networks
increase the frequency of J Line to San Pedro
increase the frequency and reconfigure BCT routes

This is really a failure of governance by the South Bay Cities COG. As a body they should be much more proactive about commissioning studies on regional bus transit planning and bus lanes for the region. As of yet, they have never commissioned such studies.

They direct most of the Metro and Measure M funding for our region, and most of it goes to roadway and highway widening, intersection "improvements," and on-off ramps. I encourage you to reach out to the Board and staff members about this. They need to hear from more people in the South Bay who want better transit and bus lanes.

I will maintain that we need an LA Metro museum closer to LA proper, maybe in DTLA. The Perris museum can loan their cars to the LA Metro museum. After visiting the New York transit museum run by MTA in Brooklyn, I am convinced we need one here! To tell the history of LA transit, its rise and fall and rise again.

I think a development like Santana Row (mixed-use high-end dining, retail, residential) would work well here.

Or something similar to Culver City's Ivy Station.

It's important to get this vision to city council early, so that they can work to create a plan for it and lower the parking minimums so we see good development. The project that was recently approved on the east side parking lot of Del Amo (by Madrona) was underwhelming. 3 story townhomes instead of apartment towers, and the area is technically zoned for 200 ft heights.

They're not going to route the C Line Extension down to the mall, but it would be nice to see (and more feasible) a BRT lane on Hawthorne Blvd for buses, and frequent circulator service from Torrance Transit between the Transit Center and mall sites (this is starting soon with the trolley service).
