At Merrick and 4th. The slip lane that used to be here was closed and turned into an extended concrete corner sidewalk.

I regret to inform you that the NIMBYs are up to their shit again.

WE WON BITCHES

Metro seems to be deactivating tall fare gates at stations like Civic Center/Grand Park, Aviation/Imperial and Westlake/MacArthur Park on random days (like today) with no explanation. They don’t coincide with any free fare days.

Gates active at Westlake/MacArthur Park. Good luck.

Anyone know why the Civic Center/Grand Park fare gates have been open for at least a week now?

Taken today at the corner of 3rd and Main. The fenced off public space, which Kevin de Leon once coined “fentanyl corner,“ appears to have been relandscaped.

We need organizations like this! Please donate!

I never bothered to look up at Westlake/MacArthur Park station. Didn’t know there was art hanging above me!

It’s now been a month and these gates are in the same state as they were back then.

I wish I was in Los Angeles during the early days of the Red Line just to see the differences in station architecture. I did visit during the 1999 Rose Parade, but wasn't cognizant enough to realize what I was looking at.

Civic Center/Grand Park gates are now active without emergency swing gates.

The art piece on the glass at the little Tokyo/Arts District station has been restored. Some of the glass was broken during the ICE raids over the summer.

It’s their own fault. This could’ve been a thing of the past by now.

Tall gates: Defeated

Do you like Open Streets: #ArroyoFest, #CicLAvia, #ActiveStreets, #BeachStreets, and more? Guest editorial from @activesgv.bsky.social urges you to demand Metro step up support for these events la.streetsblog.org/2025/11/13/l...

New gates at Civic Center/Grand Park. The second station I’ve seen to remove the old steel emergency exit doors.

New t card dropped.

What do I have to do to get @metrolosangeles.bsky.social to install a second Throne at Little Tokyo station? Or, better yet, a permanent public restroom?

Door hack

Civic Center/Grand Park gates at 1st Street entrance gone.

They should put an In-N-Out Burger in one of the empty retail spaces at LAX/Metro Transit Center after the people mover opens. Yes, I know there is one down the road on Sepulveda. Don’t care. Great introduction to people visiting and gives it a leg up on Union Station.

New gates at Westlake/MacArthur Park which, to my surprise, are eliminating the steel emergency exit door.

What I'd like to know about this project is whether or not it's part of the conditions for the state to turn over these portions of SR 2 to the city, as it is legally authorized to. dot.ca.gov/caltrans-nea...

The new tracks at Division 20 near Union Station now have trains parked on them

lmao amazing that even LAWA's own fact sheet says their $2 billion roadway won't reduce travel time

ITF West curbs. These will replace LAX-it when the people mover opens, and will also be the pick up/drop off point for private shuttles.

Every now and then when I am in the South Bay I like to check out what is happening with the pick up and drop off curbs at the people mover station near the LAX Metro station. They likely won’t open these until the people mover opens. They look pretty done.

I don’t think Trump wants to be a king, or a dictator. What he wants to be is a CEO. He wants the country to be structured like a company. Governors are just executive VPs. Mayors are senior VPs. They can all be fired by the president. Only thing he doesn’t want is a chairperson/board of directors.

Picked up free WiFi on both the E and D lines now.

New steel bollards getting installed at Little Tokyo/Arts District station.

I’m tired of hearing about SB 79.

I actually like streetcars. I just hate that they have to share traffic with private vehicles. If they could run in their own dedicated lanes, they would be much nicer to have.

With Crosswalk Collective @crosswalksla.bsky.social I painted a crosswalk in Koreatown at a dangerous intersection where a little boy was killed by a driver. After we painted, a local artist came and added to it, alongside the little boy’s older sister.

In hindsight, I’m glad they never built the Inglewood People Mover because now that the LAX station exists, it is clearly the superior transfer station to get people from transit (and the airport) to the arenas. Downtown Inglewood station simply doesn’t have that capacity.

The BART (yes, that @bart.gov) hosted a free anime festival today. I quickly 3d printed a few hundred Barty the BART mascot keychains and gave them away. I’ve never seen this much excitement before for US public transit and their mascots. More of this please!

Houston has 22 miles of urban rail in its metro area. Miami has 24 miles. Atlanta has 48 miles. Portland has 59 miles.
