#35: Riding a bike isn't exactly the safest way to get around in Los Angeles. The city introduced two programs in 2015 that were supposed to change that: Vision Zero, and the Mobility Plan 2035. But while there have been some new bike lanes installed, the city has been dragging its feet on funding. At the current rate, the planned projects wouldn't be completed for another 200 years... and meanwhile, traffic collision deaths are 58% higher than when they launched these programs seven years ago.
So today, HTLA host Brian De Los Santos is checking out some of the bike lanes in the city. We'll find out what's working, and what more needs to be done.
Guests: Ryan Fonseca, transportation and mobility reporter; and Yolanda Davis-Overstreet, mobility justice advocate
