Tag "Bus and Bike Lanes"

Scott and Hayes talk to the great JESSICA MEANEY of Investing in Place on the need and the path to building out a network of dedicated bus lanes all over the city. But first: a series of homelessness columns by Steve Lopez and a study about vacant units.

Residents fight over bus rapid transit in Eagle Rock! The IBEW fights Garcetti over his Green New Deal at the IBEW! LA fights “party houses” with new AirBnB regulations! Alissa fights for the truth about the ShakeAlertLA app! The Sheriff’s Department fights an FBI investigation! And all of us fight to breathe air that’s getting worse every day!

Alissa tells a harrowing LA Story, Northridgers have a meltdown about a rapid bus line, local officials don’t do much about Trump’s announced ICE raids, the LA Times laments the loss of Weird LA, and DR. PAAVO MONKKONEN (@elpaavo), Associate Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA’s Luskin School, joins the show to tell stories from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)’s efforts to figure out how much housing cities need to build.

Hayes is in Florida so Scott and Alissa get into the shelving of SB50, newly free admissions at MOCA, Metro and Garcetti’s flip-flop on the bus lane pilot, difficult questions for Sheriff Villanueva, big tourism numbers for LA, and not-so-big weed numbers for the state.

Alissa, Scott and Hayes choose the most representative stories of 2018 in LA and make resolutions for the city for 2019.
