Weigh in on LADOT Westside Mobility Projects!
Join us providing input for better bikeways in WLA!
Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) is in the process of planning a network of four bikeways connecting Westside neighborhoods and adjacent cities. The proposed bike routes will feature traffic calming measures to make them comfortable for riders of all ages and abilities. These routes will mostly follow neighborhood streets.
There are multiple ways you can weigh in on these projects – and maybe win a bike too!
