Cicle L.A.

"According to the study, two U.S. cities, Salt Lake City and Portland, Oregon, showed measurable progress in making traffic less frustrating. Both attacked the problem with a similar strategy, investing in sophisticated traffic light optimization, bike infrastructure, light rail, and reducing parking availability."

"...often slightly faster to walk than drive in London but, for true urban speed, it’s fastest to cycle. Smartphone data from riders and drivers schlepping meals for restaurant-to-home courier service Deliveroo earlier confirmed that bicycles are faster than cars." Biking is faster riding in DTLA too!

Protected separated bike facilities was one of our biggest factors associated with lower fatalities and lower injuries for all road users, study co-author Wesley Marshall...If you’re going out of your way to make your city safe for a broader range of cyclists we’re finding that it ends up being a safer city for everyone.

Our bicycle community needs improved access wherever we can implement it and, in Downtown, these two-way bike lanes will allow for a safer and more convenient experience that we hope leads to more being installed throughout the City, said Councilmember Huizar in a press statement.

We’re doing little Band Aid improvements, said Deborah Murphy, founder of Los Angeles Walks, a pedestrian advocacy organization. Until we change the physical construction of our streets, people are not going to perceive them differently. They are going to continue to speed.

I think what we have seen is a lot of words, but when it comes down to actions, I don’t know if it’s actually going to change, Rich Hirschinger, director and president of Velo Club La Grange said.
