Metro is seriously considering barely funding Ciclavia for the next cycle, and you should click the link below to tell them to get it together: us4.campaign-archive.com?u=e06b221ec7...

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Can’t wait for bozo not to be the face of our city anymore. Soon…

Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...

Look at the difference between NorCal and SoCal. In the Bay, out of the 11 Senators repping urban areas, 8 voted yes. In LA County, out of 13 Senators only 4 voted yes. The LA delegation is killing housing bills.

A quote that really stuck with me from this episode is: "Mobility is about more than transportation, mobility is about access to life."

Kids taking over the streets is the ultimate revolution.

10 year after the launch of Vision Zero in Los Angeles, an audit of the program was completed and released. The result? A damning indictment. The Vision Zero Steering Committee stopped meeting in 2018!!

The Mayor’s proposed budget is a disaster for street safety. It will result in worse sidewalks, worse pavement condition, no new road safety projects, and may even lead to the end of popular events like CicLAvia. Make your voice heard! mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

LMFAO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ACCIDENTALLY SUBMITTED A LETTER TO THE COURT ADMITTING THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO LOSE THE LAWSUIT TO STOP CONGESTION PRICING these guys are so incompetent it’s unbelievable storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

During your lunch break, please call the following senators offices in support of SB 79: Grayson, Cortese, Caballero, Padilla.

The opposition speaks: "The state does pretty well at producing market rate housing" to audible laughter from the audience.

my buddy created this map of safe bike routes in LA and i help her update it. if there are any bike routes you use that meet ALL THE RULES included on the right tab, reply here and let me know so i can check them out and add them. www.safebikeroutes.com/la

Join us tomorrow for a ride to and from WeHo, and hangs at Brew Works after!

If you dare to ask CalTrans how they expect cyclists to come back when they only put a bike lane in one direction on a deadly highway, they tell you there’ll be crosswalks, and bike lanes in other segments. We’re doing great.

A driver just tailgated me and sprayed me with his windshield wipers because I had the audacity to take the lane for 12 seconds so that I could make a left turn. I even crossed a double yellow to merge early and get out of his way. Yes, cyclist entitlement is definitely the problem 🤡

2015: woman killed (life lost and millions paid out in a wrongful death lawsuit) 2017: street is reconfigured 2017: Eric Garcetti forces @mikebonin.bsky.social to remove the safety improvements 2021: mother killed crossing same street w/her son Yesterday: www.latimes.com/california/s...

We’ve been hard at work in Sacramento preparing our legislative package for the year, and we’re proud to announce our 2025 bills! Here’s what we’re running this year ⬇️

and some people wonder why we are mad

Ditto.

Update: after 4 days, SMPD finally took my report, and say they’re likely to be pressing charges and should be able to get me his identity that way. I still want to figure this out so our ordinance can be helpful when people can’t get this info through PD (that’s kind of the point of the ordinance).

Yo internet, who knows how to find the identity of a CA driver using their plate w/o paying a fortune? This guy assaulted me and, in order to take him to small court w our local ordinance, I’m supposed to provide his info, which PD won’t give me because they now have a criminal offense on him. 👌💀

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

Yo!

My thoughts exactly.

RIP Shoup Dogg. May your next stop be free of off-street minimums.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

One commenter wants more housing. Another wants less. Can you guess which is which?

The Department of City Planning has released guidelines which departments will use as the bare minimum they have to do to implement HLA We see a few issues. For example, shared bike/bus lanes are NOT acceptable in place of Class II bike lanes Learn more & take action: mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

Ride alert! Meeting at the SMC E line station for a chill loop around SM. All ages, all bikes, all abilities. And some of us might just end up at Brew Works after the ride.

Why are we asking our children to "share the road" with oversized vehicles? Without adequate infrastructure, the freedom of a person to drive these vehicles conflicts with the freedom of children to move around neighborhoods and cities safely.

Join us Wednesday, February 12th from 5-6pm for our next happy hour! We’ll be sitting down with newly-elected Culver City Councilmember and former SFA Steering Committee Member @bubbathefish.bsky.social Bring your best transportation questions and RSVP here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Pop up tomorrow at Douglas Park, 10am-12pm for the Santa Monica Blvd safety study. Pull up and ask for real good stuff… bus lanes… *cough cough*.

There's also nothing wrong with "politicizing a tragedy" as politics is how we change policies to prevent tragedies.

Hey Santa Monica people, remember how we got a progressive super majority elected? Yeah, well, they’re doing good stuff, and we should let them know we support it, so they don’t just get blasted by NIMBYs 🙃

New monologue on YouTube: Who’s Really to Blame for the LA Fires youtu.be/QwMovDeFBw8

Today marks the 100th anniversary of a L.A. traffic ordinance that reshaped public space in the city and across the U.S. I spoke with historian Peter Norton (@norton.bsky.social) about how the auto industry helped limit pedestrian access to streets, paving the fast, deadly roads we navigate today.

10/10 would recommend.

Since they are only allowed on truck routes here, can we also seize them when they’re on other routes? Thanks in advance.

Wildfire hot take: need more public education about how wildfires burn and grow. I saw many people evacuate with miles of urban buffer with no dried out vegetation out of fear that the fires would reach their home.

If you’re 50+ years old and ride a bike, take this survey! If you’re not, share it with people you know. survey.alchemer.com/s3/7706636/5...

Days after a driver speeded away after killing an elderly woman in a crosswalk, SMPD shares a PSA about “shared responsibility” telling peds to “use designated crosswalks”. They can’t be serious. www.instagram.com/reel/DEVK17k...

The way passengers get dropped into car traffic because we’ve decided that cars blocking the bus stop & bike lane all day long every weekend here is fine is… very North American…

Santa Monica now has a very badass 6-1 council majority. It’s also losing its very awesome city manager. Pls send recs for YIMBY friendly city managers who’d be a good fit for this city 😭 Personal requirement: if they don’t use active mobility or public transit to get to work, don’t send them my way

“I love my bike because I get to ride the bike bus with it” is the quote of the day. Shoutout to the kiddos who weren’t intimidated by a cold (yes, SoCal cold) hazy morning and cleared the haze with their smiles.

The judge who let this happen said he didn’t believe induced demand was a thing, so there’s that.

Community bike rides are one of the best ways to meet awesome people, have fun, and enjoy your city. I doubt you can change my mind.
