Wow, I'm impressed. Bloomberg has the best article on the Sepulveda Line I've seen. No errors, very detailed, pushed back on nimby talking points, centered voices like Matute, Schneider, and Raman, and even mentions an EIFD! Full marks.

Oddest LA find from the Census Mobility Map - there is a funicular to get to a UFO house in the Hollywood Hills.

Still working out some bugs, but the census mobility map is now accessible to all at orenbj.com/censusmobilitymap

Plans call for adding two miles of trail from Culver City to Mid City https://la.urbanize.city/post/state-awards-6-million-ballona-creek-bike-path-extension

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

Tell LADOT to build the Ohio Ave protected bike lanes HLA demands, and keep traffic violence from ruining your Halloween: bikinginla.com/2025/10/28/t... #bikeLA

Why does the densest part of LA county have the worst bike network?

Checked out the Rail-to-Rail Trail in South LA this morning!

VenHub spotted at Union Station East 👀

Metro board approves item 10 - approves #LinkUS Union Station run-through-tracks project environmental clearance [!]

LADOT is planning for bike lanes, pedestrian improvements, and transit improvements along Westwood Bl. Take their survey and ask for protected bike lanes, and that the project be extended to National Bl, to connect with existing bike lanes! Details: mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

Culver City backs plan for 20-minute Westside-to-Valley Metro route

I can't wait for this whole area to just be exclusively for pedestrians, buses, and bicycles. A real oasis in West Los Angeles.

Two years after a speeding driver killed Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, & Deslyn Williams - Malibu & Caltrans have made some progress toward a safer PCH. Usually around 3-6 traffic deaths there each year, so far 0 in 2025. la.streetsblog.org/2025/10/21/m...

This is insane - and it happens weekly here in Southern California. One of my coworkers was run down while cycling less than 6 months into his well earned retirement. @bikinginla.bsky.social #BikeSky

New elevated bike lane, bus bays, and development next to Culver City E Line station.

New research from the Data/Dev team! SB 79 will eventually zone nearly 1.5 million (1,456,150) new units of housing in the City of LA. Enough to double LA’s current housing stock of 1.37 million homes Read more: data.streetsforall.org/blog/sb79_impact/

Finally got to go on the Metro HQ helipad!

BART successfully completes installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at all 50 stations four months ahead of schedule. That’s 715 fare gates across the system that spans five counties!

I concur with this assessment of CAHSR.

I was shocked when I heard Scott Wiener say LA City Council's divided SB 79 vote helped convince state reps to vote yes on the bill. So I mapped it - sure looks like he's telling the truth! The only state reps from LA who voted for SB 79 overlap with city councilmembers who supported the bill. A 🧵:

Farmdale Station on the E Line seeing a decent amount development.

Glendora 1951 vs 2025 Frequent transit service is back after 70-something year hiatus A Line now open for business!

Oof - "Starting in January 2026, peak service will be reduced from 15 to 20 minutes on the light rail and some buses, while seven bus routes will be eliminated entirely." www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
