Why do Caltrans projects take so long and cost so much? A multi-year study in the 5th round of outreach to consider creating a project to build bus lanes for a few miles.

I think this is our most fun video so far, and still informative, no?

"'[Car crashes are] one of the leading causes of premature death in this country,' said Jacob Wasserman, research program manager for @uclaits.bsky.social. …The danger of the car is not put in the same caliber.…They just become traffic. Incidents on the train…become a clickbait worthy spectacle."

the clean up bill should make LA even denser.

Unbelievable, but consistent with the pattern of Caltrans not valuing the lives of anyone outside of a car.

Metro Construction Committee meeting just underway. [I am in the room - usually I follow these meetings remotely - I was already downtown and my HLA business finished up so I figured I would pop in]

Najarian is currently on the metro planning and programming committee complaining that residents along the noho/pas corridor are objecting to the project

Report from today’s #MeasureHLA appeals before the Board of Public Works: 10 appeals (all submitted by me) heard, 10 appeals denied unanimously by BPW.

FYI - in case you typically come here for my live-tweeting of Metro board committee meeting, I won’t be posting those today (10am Planning Cmte, 1pm Construction Cmte). I am off work today due to HLA stuff in court & at Bd of Public Works. I will be back posting Metro mtgs tomorrow!

Measure HLA lawsuit update: today’s hearing/ruling postponed until March 12

Board of Public Works: we may not know the name of the street, but we know it doesn’t get walk/bike/bus improvements [these should be “Witmer” St. and Vermont “Avenue”]

Action alert: @carlitelb.bsky.social asking for your support for preserving city plans to upgrade bike/walk features on the 2nd Street Bridge www.reddit.com/r/longbeach/...

Today @lataco.bsky.social launched a fundraiser to help me start their investigative news desk. We're hoping to raise $25k to help pay for lab tests, analyze ICE data that the Daily Memo's been compiling + work with more freelancers. Been dreaming of this for years! givebutter.com/la-taco-inve...

My latest look at so-called " #largeasphaltrepair " ...what a mess. The city is leaving cracked/failed asphalt strips in order to not comply with ADA or HLA laws.

Santa Monica is upgrading Broadway bike lanes - concrete curb protection on the way. Construction now from 4th to 9th. (Will extend to 26th)

My lawsuit against LACity over #MeasureHLA will be in court next week: Wed Feb 18. But it won't be the big part of my case. There are 3 things I am contesting. Next week is a smaller wonky administrative chunk: asking the judge to nix the city's HLA ordinance. labikas.wordpress.com/2025/10/22/m...

In her State of the City Part I, Mayor Karen Bass recognized Juan Naula, whose community cleanups have gone viral. I called him up to get his ideas for how to address LA’s trash crisis and and he was not pleased with the mayor’s plan to clean the city with volunteers

Should I be suspicious? Two years after voters approved #MeasureHLA an LADOT video is actually promoting the city's Mobility Plan 2035 and HLA www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ6S...

Insert some comment here about Lyft keeps wanting to operate L.A.'s Metro Bike Share but got caught cheating on the bid process twice

I have reason to suspect that AI was used to generate this video!
