This is brilliant.

After failing to stop a major state housing bill from becoming law, Los Angeles leaders are turning to plan B: Delaying Senate Bill 79's implementation and pushing for unspecified legislative changes next year.

If you're around on Monday Nov 24 10am, please plan to come support me at the Board of Public Works meeting at LA City Hall. I did a write-up about what #MeasureHLA appeals the BPW will be deciding that day labikas.wordpress.com/2025/11/14/f...

At this rate, Mease HLA enforcement in Los Angeles is going to be helmed by The Department of Joe Linton

Friday round-up: LADOT planning ambitious upgrades for Pico Blvd. Last call for SGV e-bike vouchers. And photos of LADOT's good-but-late safety upgrade at 4th/New Hampshire in Ktown la.streetsblog.org/2025/11/14/f...

A brief look at the proposed 6th Street Pedestrian Plaza in #Koreatown. The community is working with the city to temporarily close a few blocks, & study a permanent closure

Joe undersells it, this is the first time HLA has been used to improve a street post repaving (fixing a bunch of sidewalks!) Notably it’s a project installed just months after the measure passed - lots more in the appeal pipeline

A very minor victory buried in the city's staff report responding to an appeal I filed regarding Hollywood Boulevard improvements. Here is the staff report - which includes my appeal labikas.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

And the interim safety improvements are in! Look what we can do in a single day! How do we make this happen without sacrificing our children

Just received word today that the City Board of Public Works has scheduled its first 7 hearings on #MeasureHLA appeals - all appeals submitted personally by me - all scheduled for next Monday morning dpwlacity.primegov.com/Portal/Meeti...

Metro board: let's do CicLAvia-type events to celebrate the Olympics! Metro staff: The board wants us to cancel all the other CicLAvias for the next 3 years

It’s a tiny low temporary roundabout, but I am happy to see that it slows down most turning drivers. (New installation at 4th & New Hampshire in #Koreatown)

All it took to get this quick-build safety upgrade was 10 years, the death of Nadir Gavarrete, and the guerilla work of the @crosswalksla.bsky.social

The crosswalks memorializing the death of 9-year-old Nadir Gavarrete were removed today. But LADOT is replacing them with permanent safety improvements — and an interim roundabout that should have been installed a decade ago

I really do give @crosswalksla.bsky.social a lot of credit for forcing the city to take swift action after so many years of delay. But, please, no more dead kids

A few more missing crosswalk photos. It shouldn’t take the death of a child, and the @crosswalksla.bsky.social painting DIY crosswalks to get the city to install safety features!

City scrapes guerilla @crosswalksla.bsky.social crosswalks at 4th and New Hampshire. Starting tomorrow the city will install crosswalks and an interim traffic circle, with long delayed permanent traffic circle expected next year la.streetsblog.org/2025/11/12/c...

How to use Metro Station #BikeLink lockers - very easy, cheap, secure! Available at most Metro rail and bus stations

Four briefs in today's post: - Code the Curb tech in #DTLA - Bike lanes coming to #SouthWhittier - Bike upgrade coming to Ohio Avenue in #Westwood - Bus Lanes coming to Sunset in #Hollywood la.streetsblog.org/2025/11/07/f...

I wrote about LA's remarkable opportunity to once again use the World Series as trial run for upcoming megaevents. Unfortunately our leaders are incapable of envisioning a city that cheers together: there was very little planning for public celebration and a whole lot of leeway for police aggression

Really informative piece on next steps for SB79 in L.A.

Pomona passed its first rent stabilization law, though a long process resulted in a pared back law that neither side is quite happy with la.streetsblog.org/2025/11/07/p...

Is it that hard to acknowledge Streetsblog/me for taking photos you use, LADOT? Left is 2025 LADOT Ohio Ave presentation, right is 2022 SBLA coverage of city bikeways. SBLA photos are creative commons - not a problem for the city to use this, if they credit the creator.

Am curious - was anyone fooled by the misdirection at the start of yesterday's SBLA short video? www.youtube.com/shorts/M7gLX...

Latest SBLA video may piss you off!

I've been working on this #BikePomona piece on and off for months. The city is doing a fair amount of good bikeability work, but there's still a ways to go. If you're visiting Pomona, take your bike on the Metro A Line.

@mikebonin.bsky.social on LA Pod: “There’s … such a power to the old idea that it’s all about making life easier for the single passenger automobile, that absent constant absolute vigilant pressure for something different, the system will find ways to go the old way.” www.thinkforward.la/la-podcast/

This week's #MeasureHLA lawsuit update: I filed a motion to try to get L.A. City to be more forthcoming with discovery documents, especially related to the "MCA" - the Master Cooperative Agreement between L.A. City and Metro. labikas.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/m...

Folks who bike/walk in Malibu: let the city know you support safety over "preserving a rural look" [really] on PCH. Malibu commission will vote on Monday Nov 3. la.streetsblog.org/2025/10/31/t...

Mark your calendars: Metro will host a virtual outreach meeting Wed Nov. 12 6-7 p.m. for proposed Sunset Blvd bus lanes through Hollywood & East Hollywood - Vermont to Havenhurst (just west of Fairfax)

Tell the Mayor and the City Council that you don't want worse traffic and worse pollution at LAX!

Even by LA standards, this project is egregious, and undercuts the billions @metrolosangeles.bsky.social has spent on improving transit to the airport. We never learn; amazing that right now the city is moving full steam ahead on a project their own EIR says will make traffic worse!

Hey LAX, it's not the 1950s. Even your own studies are showing that your roadway expansion will mean more driving, more congestion, more pollution. la.streetsblog.org/2025/10/28/l...
