It introduced a lot of new people to CicLAvia, which I applaud. But, I worry that it will become an excuse by elected officials to not fund future open streets events. We can't allow open streets to become like bus shelters, built only where advertisers can find the wealthy bsky.app/profile/gspe...

Ciclavia is such a great event. Biking down the closed streets is so much fun.

I was not prepared for how busy CicLAvia would be today!

Holy cow, prescription sunglasses are a game changer

Immediately after posting a transit complaint I see this post and it’s like a salve. Public transit is connections in every sense of the word.

Effective drainage systems are an underrated, important component of making truly walkable, human-oriented cities. It’s hard to convince people to live than non-driver lifestyle when nearly every rainfall includes ankle-deep puddles #urbanism+ #LA

Whenever it rains in LA, I always think about the “Emerald Necklace Vision Plan”, which, if implemented, would result in expanded parks and green space along several waterways in the area.

This is so funny. Sherman Oaks deserves better than Brad Sherman. #LA

The city attorney @hydeefeldsteinsoto.bsky.social is going to singlehandedly bankrupt the city

Proud member of the 33%!

Opinion: Attendance zones keep L.A.'s best schools for wealthy kids — & shut out the rest

🚨 URGENT ACTION: Save Open Streets! 🚨 LA Metro plans to cut funding for Open Streets for nearly 3 YEARS, funding them ONLY for the World Cup/Olympics. Email the Metro Board NOW! Urge them to fund year-round events. https://bit.ly/4p5B9K7

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

Hey @ladotofficial.bsky.social, you've had funding for 14 years to fix 4th & New Hampshire in Ktown, but instead you did nothing, which killed Nadir. Amazing that it only took you three months to remove our crosswalks and memorial. Put them back in or we will. Again. And again. And again.

It bothers me that after billions spent building a rail system, we are left with a system that is too slow, too unreliable and too uncomfortable to be useful.

The breakfast burrito place that sets up in Circus Liquor North Hollywood parking lot is 🔥 tho

LA Metro single tracked between Westlake/MacArthur Park and Union Station due to LAFD activity/trackway issues

Heads up to my LA Metro homies: B and D Lines are currently single tracked between Westlake/MacArthur Park and Union Station. LAFD are on the platform at Westlake seemingly trying to get into the track tunnel space? (That’s all conjecture, to be clear)

I always like how Nimesh in Los Angeles links his experience as a medical doctor to his safe streets advocacy! #urbanism+ #bikesky

The @uofcalifornia.bsky.social serves 300,000 students, yet only one of the two students on the 26-member Board of Regents is allowed to vote. Now, student leaders are campaigning for a second vote bit.ly/4qZaTmw 📸 Florence Middleton

I should make my sister-in-law put her store on here but until then if you are into board games or LARP supplies and can make it to North Hollywood you should absolutely stop in

Long Beach: The 51st Street Greenbelt Project will turn a stretch of land on De Forest Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets into a park featuring pedestrian and cycling paths, fitness equipment, play structures, native plants and green infrastructure. #cawater lbpost.com/news/long-be...

Bus to the metro to the kid’s swim class with this book as my trusty companion. Except I got interrupted between the bus and the metro by a group of tourists who needed help getting to Beverly Hills on the bus.

Our politics

Still my favorite shot from the day. There was only one place with enough space to guarantee a glimpse of LA's winning team: the freeway overpasses. Or, for a handful of fans who bravely scurried down a slope of spiky century plants, the freeway itself. Let's just have next year's parade there?

Collaborative news curation as a service, demonstrating the value of social media based on protocols, not platforms and a “playbook for killing information voids.”

The *most* important part of our work @graze.social is respecting our community members and lifting them up. We approached some of our users to help us design the feed for @wnyc.org / @gothamist.com and @zombiegomoan.bsky.social answered the call. We're *thrilled* to call Zombie a friend ❤️

I got to play a role in the development of this feed, and I couldn't be prouder of the results. @graze.social is doing some incredible things! 💙🐮

Listen to Mamdani last night. "We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about." Fuck yes. That is the democratic socialism I believe in.

🚨Baltimore has done it! The second-largest US city, after Denver, to pass a complete repeal of parking mandates in 2025. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

I hate this time change bull shit. Bike commuting home in the dark wooohooo so safe

Brought a big power bank to charge my e-bike on Metrolink after a long day biking around

Stuck on a fuckass bus bridge for the A Line cause I didn’t know there was gonna be a closure for maintenance 😭

#ZGMFeedChangelog I have added Austin Beutner, a challenger to Karen Bass for Mayor, to the list of names tracked in the LA feed. Considering adding challengers for other elected offices, but that could get unwieldy; might limit it to city-wide positions to start. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Imagine getting trapped in the La Brea tar pits. Total skill issue, couldn't be me

More people are killed in traffic than by homicides now in Los Angeles. The problem has been worsening dramatically as the city failed to follow through on its Vision Zero plan lapublicpress.org/2025/10/most...

Proud to present @streetsforall.bsky.social with the AD51 Community Excellence Award for Sustainability & Mobility. 🚴‍ TY for your work to make L.A.’s streets safer, healthier & built for people—not just cars—and to @mirijulip.bsky.social for accepting the award! #AD51 #Mobility #Sustainability

The city that once defined postwar prosperity — where wide streets, endless subdivisions, and freeways to the horizon promised a future of limitless growth — has been dealing with a $1 billion budget shortfall. But the story here isn’t about a bad year. It’s about a bad model.

LADOT is working on adding protected bike lanes on Ohio between Westgate and Westwood, and traffic calming on other surrounding streets, providing a safe way to cycle between Westwood and areas West of the 405. Learn more and take their survey: mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

This Sunday November 2 is Active Streets - Corazon Del Valle - in El Monte and South El Monte. Free, fun, family-friendly CicLAvia-type open streets event.

"just outside the city" This shit makes me so irrationally angry. THIS IS INSIDE OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES; THE VALLEY IS ALMOST ENTIRELY A PART OF LA!!!

Caltrans District 7 has a proposal to add protected bike lanes to PCH in Long Beach—if you want to learn more or share your thoughts, join their workshop next week on Oct. 29. Register: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

having lived in Burbank & taken public transit there for a meaningful amount of time, I cannot stress enough how badly it needs better bus transit. the one time I actually took the bus there (vs. just driving 5-10 min to a metro stop) it was delayed for over a half-hour lmao

US downtowns are covered with car parking. According to this new study, off-street parking takes up: 🔹 20.5% of downtown Dallas 🔹 22.3% of downtown Los Angeles 🔹 31.7% of downtown Tulsa
