Proud to introduce #AB1740 to modernize coastal permitting in urban, transit-rich cities to support climate oriented transit and housing policies. Thank you to sponsors @cityofsantamonica.bsky.social, @streetsforall.org & @abundanthousingil.bsky.social!

@cityofsantamonica.bsky.social Big Blue Bus becomes the 1st agency in the state to add yield signs to buses, saving time at every stop. Thanks @caltransit.bsky.social for sponsoring the state bill authorizing and @electdanhall.bsky.social and @nzernitskaya.bsky.social for moving this locally for me!

Like @nickandert.bsky.social, I've spent too many hours with 1930s drawings to find storm sewers, pipelines, etc in LA. A county-wide unified "3D Underground" utility map seems like something that could streamline planning from megaprojects to DIY home improvements www.enr.com/articles/620...

Los Angeles is almost certainly the worst governed major blue city in the entire country at this point

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Not one white elected official who represents the City of LA, at the city or state level, supported SB 79. These legislators placed themselves in a long tradition of white leaders supporting zoning rules to keep brown people out of their white constituents' neighborhoods.

I recently sent a letter to Katy Yaroslavsky showing that upzoning mostly along commercial corridors (as CHIP does) will exacerbate health disparities. Today, she was the deciding "yes" vote to oppose SB 79, knowingly reinforcing social determinants of health and health inequities in LA.

✅ PASSED ASSEMBLY LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE: SB 79 by @scottwiener.bsky.social that would end the exclusionary housing policies that have made housing more expensive and transit inaccessible, allowing more people to live within walking distance of quality transit and boosting ridership.

If you haven't read it yet, @calelectricrail.org's new white paper on a different funding model for rail in CA is excellent, and we should be working now to get any prospective 2026 governor candidates (especially Harris if she runs) on board as champions of this, and of the SB125 task force recs.

Look at the difference between NorCal and SoCal. In the Bay, out of the 11 Senators repping urban areas, 8 voted yes. In LA County, out of 13 Senators only 4 voted yes. The LA delegation is killing housing bills.

SB 79 PASSES OUT OF THE CALIFORNIA SENATE! 🎉🥑

HUGE NEWS: SB 79 by @scottwiener.bsky.social PASSES THE SENATE FLOOR -- This bill upzones areas near major transit!

We’ve been hard at work in Sacramento preparing our legislative package for the year, and we’re proud to announce our 2025 bills! Here’s what we’re running this year ⬇️

“His recommendations—charging fair market prices for curb parking, reinvesting parking revenue locally, and eliminating minimum parking requirements—have shaped city planning worldwide." www.parking.net/parking-news...

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

Biking to campus today straight into the headwind was my tour de france

It’s [well past] time to ban ‘right on red.’ “It’s unclear that right-on-red did much of anything to reduce gas consumption, but it had a sizable effect on roadway safety. A 1982 study found the new policy triggered a sharp increase in crashes…” @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/90908929/its...
