For some reason I can’t ever remember there’s a Woodman station on the G Line

Played the Daggerheart TTRPG for the first time tonight. The system claims to be narrative / fiction-first but it’s also still got a lot of D&D-esque crunchiness. Overall felt kinda meh about it if I’m being honest :(

Due to a fantastic new @graze.social feature, I was able to rejig this UCLA feed into something I think will be much better! This feed will pick up chatter about UCLA from people who have a UCLA-related term in the bio.

Metro is awarding $85M for 16 bike/ped project grants - many are expedited to be ready for the 2028 Olympic/Paralympic Games la.streetsblog.org/2025/09/17/m...

Feeds thrive on context - and we just added a ton more. Graze now lets feed builders filter content based on quote posts, parent posts, author & mentioned user metadata, *and* text transcriptions from videos! More freedom to our feed builders, and way better feeds for the ecosystem! Lets see a few:

Where is a reason it's called Strong Towns, not Strong Cities Marohn's approach is completely insufficient to dealing with the problems of growing, high demand cities

This is why the Charles Marohn, "gentle density" approach is bullshit and doomed to failure. The NIMBYs will tell you that they just want gradual densification, *but they are lying to you!*

update: it's still going. it's still loud. los angeles metro is making it extremely unpleasant to wait for the bus

i havent listened to an audio drama podcast in a long while, but i forgot how they put their whole pussy in sound production and voice acting... i love audio dramas

UCLA must not give into these demands. Over 600,000 living alumni will stand behind it.

We have to stop putting new housing next to high traffic roads and freeways. It's a slow-motion public health train wreck of our own making. Don't give in to NIMBYs "protecting" low density SFH areas with clean air from apartments/condos.

This is gonna be a huge change for the San Fernando Valley. My beloved G Line is ruined by single family homes and industrial land uses. It's time for a new path forward. #LA #urbanism+

Happy CicLaVia Day to all who celebrate! See you out there! Remember to hydrate and re-apply that sunscreen!

A Line Extension opens noon next Friday! -Free rides across 4am Fri Sept 19 - 3am Mon Sep 22 -Join us on 19th for food + music at each new station (Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne/Fairplex, Pomona North) -Great lineup of bands at Pomona North - see post below -Will be Most Triumphant opening!

HUGE HOUSING NEWS: The Assembly just passed our bill allowing more homes near public transportation, SB 79! We need more housing & we need it near transit. It’ll reduce traffic congestion & carbon emissions & increase transit ridership & affordability. Go housing! Go transit!

Disappointed in my assemblymember, @asmnickschultz.bsky.social, for not voting one way or the other on SB79 (it should have been an easy yes). #LA

most people don’t believe me when I say that my (e-)bike commute is the fastest and most reliable way to commute in LA, but…

This is why I don't trust anything the Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council says about the Sepulveda Transit Corridor. They claim to be open to the underground alternatives, but they can't be trusted. It feels like a long con where they'll pull out the rug at the last minute. #LA #urbanism+

This could be you, Los Angeles…

We were proud sponsors of AB-645 two years ago which legalized speed cameras in multiple pilot cities across California. We are dismayed to see a total lack of urgency in installing life saving speed cameras in LA. la.streetsblog.org/2025/09/10/l...

City planning is inherently political. You cannot have a good livable city if it isn’t not built for people of all backgrounds. It’s why reactionaries hate cities. Because good walkable cities create a level of empathy for other people in your community who they tell you to demonize.

LADOT is testing concrete “Toronto barriers” in lieu of plastic bollards along 3rd Street between Main & Spring in DTLA.This could lead to concrete barriers for all protected bike lanes in the city. Let them know you support concrete bike lane barriers over plastic! mailchi.mp/streetsforal...

Early March 1938, a series of catastrophic storms inundated SoCal with 11 inches of rain. Imagine how much power it took for the river to demolish the Colfax Ave bridge in North Hollywood like that. Not long after, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concreted the LA River. ("now" photo Feb 2023)

This is bad. CA will be running a tech with lower capacity, lower speed, and more vulnerability to fuel supply chain issues on the US's second busiest rail corridor. We've written before about the negative side effects and flawed reasoning behind this purchase. calelectricrail.org/caltrans-hyd...

We made a YouTube Short picking apart Metrolink’s incorrect and misleading claims regarding electrification of its system. youtube.com/shorts/cn_2s...

Here are some pics from CicLAVia a few weeks ago, there's another this Sunday! The last one ended at the beach, as most things should. #LetsJustGo

With Crosswalk Collective @crosswalksla.bsky.social I painted a crosswalk in Koreatown at a dangerous intersection where a little boy was killed by a driver. After we painted, a local artist came and added to it, alongside the little boy’s older sister.

The Rio Hondo Ecosystem Restoration Project will capture and clean stormwater before it reaches the Rio Hondo River, improving water quality and public access at Peck Road Water Conservation Park. Learn more about the benefits of this project at RioHondoProject.org

NorCal Touchstone Climbing workers joined the ranks of 5 unionized climbing gyms in Los Angeles this week--but the work is only just beginning.

LASAN (via 311) has told me they remove public receptacles that get used too much. Which is something.

Volunteers who are picking up trash — they call themselves trashers, great story below — are filing 311 requests for the city to take their bags of trash after their cleanups and noting the same problems with the app

I wrote up my thoughts about Abundance Conference publiccomment.blog/p/when-is-a-...

Check out photos from our Easy Access ride with Amigos de los Rios! We explored rewilding projects that support pollinators, create shade, and improve air quality. 🌱 Stay tuned: our next ride is Sept 20 at El Monte Transit Center for SoCal Transit Month!

Honestly. I think Burbank should have more AMCs.

Ciclavia a couple weeks ago in Culver City

This may seem like an unwise choice until you read that the alternative proposed is *15 minute service* on Metrolink between Los Angeles and Rancho Cucamonga, which is a much better investment than a duplicative light rail line (which is already the longest light rail line in the world!).

From the Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council Newsletter, they oppose SB 79 (no surprise there), and also have a proposal for LA Metro that blends the technology of Sepulveda Transit Corridor Alternative 5, with the route of Alt 6. #LA #urbanism+

How can LA thrive if the people who make this city the incredible place that it is -- the artists, entrepreneurs, chefs, teachers, day laborers, working families, and so many others -- cannot afford to build their lives here anymore?

If you want to see the vision for LA’s parks presented in person — and ask all your questions about your local park — the next meeting is 9/6 in Westwood. After that, there are a bunch more meetings online. I highly recommend attending at least one event, details: parks.needs.lacity.gov

LADOT is redesigning Pico Blvd in Central LA — adding bike lanes, safer crossings, and traffic-calming features on a stretch where 75 people have been killed or severely injured in the last decade. Your input is invaluable: ladot.lacity.gov/pico

To anyone who uses my LA family of feeds, here's a cool thing you can do to help me moderate the feed! When you see a post that doesn't look like it belongs, open the three-dot menu and press "Show less like this". This will send that data back over to me and help keep the feed on theme!

LADOT added more Toronto barrier concrete-protection on the 3rd Street bikeway in #DTLA - it was about 150 feet, now it’s about 300 feet (from Main to Spring)

Just in case anyone in my transit/urbanism circle has any connection to Fresno!
