Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) is in winding up the outreach process of planning a network of four bikeways connecting Westside neighborhoods and adjacent cities.

Agenda item 16E was continued from the last council meeting when 4 council members shocked the community and voted no on a motion to extend the meeting past 11pm — without finishing the Agenda. We cannot ever remember a meeting where this occurred. Two former Santa Moinca Mayors weighed in on the shocking vote here:
Kevin McKeown | Denny Zane, plus a community opt-ed here.
