Downtown Culver City was hopping earlier tonight on the #MoveCulverCity Washington Blvd corridor. Main Street, however, where cars now have full reign and lots of on-street parking, was totally dead.

What struck me when I visited last year about Paris’s bike network was the urgency and practicality of its expansion. They seem to be closing network gaps as fast as possible by the least expensive, reasonably safe means. The effect is impressive.

When it comes to addressing our housing crisis, there’s not a moment to waste. Time is of the essence. #AB1485 recognizes that urgency. I'm grateful to @MattHaneySF and @Scott_Wiener .

Your ambassadors are doing great stuff, @metrolosangeles . Two at Culver City station this morning handled a minor issue professionally, politely, respectfully, and effectively. The program (really the ambassadors themselves) are making a big difference for all riders.

Californians across the state are being priced out of homeownership, rents are skyrocketing, and more than 170,000 Californians are living on our streets. It’s unacceptable. Two years ago today, I launched CA DOJ’s Housing Justice Team to tackle this crisis from all angles. 🧵

There are a great many little semi-separated worlds in the Los Angeles area and, despite all the nasty commentary, the ones that rely on or choose public transit are my favorite.

This map hints at why people who ride a bike for utility laugh at anyone who says “we should forget about x bike lane and invest in Ballona Creek.” People need to go where they need to go, plus even if the creek path serves their needs, they want to get there safely.

This map deserves another Twitter round. Actual safe bike routes in LA, none of that LADOT bike route bs. It’s especially useful for mid city, but it’s growing.

These headways are good enough for me because I’m mostly a commuter on the E line, but 8-minute peak/10-minute off-peak would be soooo much better for the system and all of its potential users.

The schedules for the Regional Connector lines (A and E) have been released. Frequencies of 10 minute peak, 12 minute midday and 20 minute early morning/late night. Budget says they aim to eventually phase into standardized 8m peak and 10m off-peak headways.

@mnolangray @mottsmith Residential parking permits are a mostly unacknowledged and rarely itemized cost center. I’ve never seen *a single one* that priced the permit, even with fine revenue, anywhere near the cost of the program. Just a massive subsidy for people already enjoying lavish subsidies.
