Yes - tho it's a bit of a mess - council is telling City Attorney to write an ordinance. In the last iteration the City Attorney put various poison pills in (not overtly requested by council) including upping the trigger distance from 1/8 mile repaving to 1/4 mile... so devil will be in details

A month-plus into L.A.'s Measure HLA era, the city finally got around to repaving a street that triggered safety upgrades. Unfortunately L.A. failed to add a protected bikeway on Coronado Street, as approved ten years ago. la.streetsblog.org/2024/05/21/c...

"It has stuck in the popular consciousness that there's this thing called a choice rider, & because that’s the person who is making choices, that’s the person that transit should be focusing on.

By around 2030, Californians will be served by two awesomely fast (~200mph!) high-speed rail lines - that will both *almost* get to L.A.! Worth celebrating right now - and keeping up the pressure to get them all the way to L.A. Union Station cal.streetsblog.org/2024/04/23/b...

In response to LA Metro staff report indicating they will have 100% electric buses in 2035 instead of 2030, director Katy Yaroslavsky, along with 5 other directors, have made a motion to develop plan to have 100% zero emissions buses as soon as possible.

LAX will rename its terminals, gates, people mover stations, and other facilities as part of a wayfinding enhancement program. Terminals 2 and 3 become Terminal 2/T2. Tom Bradley Terminal becomes Terminal 3/T3. People Mover stations get letters A-G.

Agree that it would be great if no scofflaw drivers drove in these bus lanes... but FWIW moving violations are harder to ticket automatically - they correspond to a driver. Parking violations only correspond to a car. Starting with this lower-hanging fruit should help.
