Why do all new buildings in LA use precious land for these ugly electric boxes. Ruins the street scape and takes up space where more apartments could have been. @streetsblogla.bsky.social

This is the way.

It's not massive - it's a hilly area where I don't bike often - but I like this project. So Cal just needs about 5,000 more of these asphalt-to-green projects, & we get a healthy river! Each one is a worthwhile step!

If you want to get upset about something read this CalMatters series on road deaths in California is sobering. Amazing journalism. I hope it leads to change. Can you imagine if 40,000 people died in 10 years from anything else. The response would be astronomical. calmatters.org/investigatio...

@metrolosangeles.bsky.social Why are no trains coming at 17th st, clocks keep changing, no service notifications.

We need organizations like this! Please donate!

The “we can’t possibly build more homes because our infrastructure isn’t perfect” argument is ubiquitous in San Francisco housing debates. It’s effectively saying “sorry, no home for you until all infrastructure is perfect — go live 100 miles away.” The argument is also factually baseless:

Cool to see stormwater capture in action at the new park by the LA river. We need more of this!

Some years ago LA upzoned a single family area next to the Expo/Bundy station. 20 homeowners sold their property at huge profits to developers and now they’re turning into 600 new apartments. Hopefully we’ll see projects like this all over the state in coming years now that SB79 has legalized them.

With construction wrapping up, Metro expects to open 4 more miles of D Line Subway by March 2026! la.streetsblog.org/2025/10/15/m...

@urbanizela.bsky.social Seems like construction is finally starting up at 3313 Sunset Blvd. 104 Apartments coming to Silver Lake.

@ladotofficial.bsky.social is working to make Pico safer between Crenshaw & Figueroa. They’re asking people for feedback about the proposed project, which contemplates both protected and unprotected lanes. Let them know we want a protected bike lane on Pico, and more! mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

Something to delight car companies & road engineers: WaPo's new op-ed pins America's sky-high crash deaths on a lack of driver education. Yep, that's it. Definitely nothing to do with streets designed for speed, bloated SUVs/pickups or sprawl that forces people to drive even if they don't want to.

20 more of these please. Downtown LA should be building towers at a much faster rate.

People love to hate on the California High Speed Rail but the first segment is happening and we should do everything we can to build it as fast as possible. The faster we build it the faster we get cars off the road, the faster our air will be cleaner. @governor.ca.gov Build the rail!

Anyone who has any connection to Los Angeles, please comment on the Draft EIR for the Sepulveda line. Alternative 4 is by far the best for many reasons. Cost per rider and capacity being the most convincing. Say no to the monorail! metro.commentinput.com?id=HNYpSPZkD

Metro ridership was more than 1 million in May 2025 - which was the 30th consecutive month of increased ridership.

I know this is not as egregious as people getting disappeared by ICE or sent to the hospital by the cops, but it’s worth mentioning that LAPD has essentially stranded hundreds of thousands of Angelenos by banning all Metro lines and busses from going through DTLA.

Are done with the @nytimes.com? This headline is insane. Democrats enter “risky” territory?! What are they thinking

Loved the new LAX metro transit center. Feels like a world class station. Nice and spacious. And it’s a good sign that many people were using it to get to and from the airport already. Good job @metrolosangelesbot.bsky.social

We’re in a budget crisis and a climate crisis and we are still wasting money in this… Such a waste.

The Distance of the Sun is a new soaring sculpture by LA artist Glenn Kaino. Suspended above the escalators at LAX/Metro Transit Center, this spiral of imagined spacecraft—some designed by South LA youth and transformed into 3D origami—symbolizes our collective dreams of exploration and connection.

Better late than never!

Mark your calendar! Metro LAX Transit Center to open Friday June 6 (though full LAX people mover connection expected early 2026) la.streetsblog.org/2025/04/24/m...

This year we are sponsoring a housing bill – SB 79 by Senator Wiener. Why are we, Streets For All, getting in the housing space? Because this bill is vital for our transportation system. 🧵(1/10)

Caltrans released a draft of the PCH Master Plan for a public review period. While the current plan includes some protected bike lanes, there will be a large gap! Tell Caltrans we need protected bike lanes down ALL of PCH! Learn more: mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

AUSTIN OFFICIALLY LEGALIZES 5-STORY SINGLE-STAIR APARTMENTS WITH A 10-1 VOTE!!! 🏗️🏬 This makes Austin the 2nd largest city outside of NYC to legalize single-stair apartments! Massive day for Austin and massive thanks to @CMChitoVela for taking the charge on this!

Today Joe Linton of Streetsblog LA filed a lawsuit to force HLA compliance on Vermont and other LA city streets (and other Metro projects) and eliminate the mandatory administrative appeals process. We support this action – we simply want safe streets. www.streetsforall.org/blog/first-h...

This was an insane read. So wrong and misguided. Who let this get published?!

Tell me you have never bought groceries in your life without telling me you have never bought groceries in your life.

So short sighted. So many vehicle related deaths a year and we just do nothing.

Very excited but seeming more and more likely it will get pushed until 2026. The contractor just added another month to the completion date. Now it’s November of this year…

All democrats voting against new housing need to be primaried and voted out. This is insane.

This is not going to open until next year i bet. Metro is failing at maintains a good pace of construction. Heads should roll for these years long delays on everything.

Folks who bike commute in LA—take five minutes to complete this cool survey by a French Fulbright researcher studying the motivations for active transport in LA and SF. h/t @bikinginla.bsky.social enquetes.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/SurveyServer...

How do I get one of these??

I don't think it should take 30 years to build a subway line in Chicago or 627 days to permit an apartment building in San Francisco.

Los Angeles needs to have started this two decades ago…

Minimum parking requirements destroy our communities. 🖼️ @parkingreform.org

This is everything wrong with our country. Approved but delayed for 8 years! Totally insane waste of everyone's time and money. Democrats need to start building again or we need a new party who will do it.

We need an Abundance political party. The democratic party is dead. Who can build it?

The biggest deregulatory action of its kind in US history will also be the biggest mass murder in US history.

Build the rail! Should have been done years ago but still worth doing!

In a very pleasant surprise, Metro has added a bunch of seating to 7th St Metro Center

Californians will be like "we need to protect this neighborhood's character forever by stopping overdevelopment" and the neighborhood looks like this

Never thought I would be so excited about staircase reform!

This, to me, is the single biggest issue democrats face. By not building we have stagnated/made worse peoples quality of life. Homes are too expensive. You can’t get around easily. This pushes people away from democrats because we have failed to make peoples lives better. We need to build again!

Wish we could have this in Los Angeles. 😭
