Every urbanist needs a close friend who navigates the city in a wheelchair/w mobility challenges & a friend who does city life w small children & a friend who does it living w age-related challenges. Understanding these perspectives is vital. If we built for these, it would work for nearly everyone.

I attended the Redondo Beach Public Works Commission meeting last night via Zoom.
I learned that 500-600 people bike through the intersection of Beryl and Flagler daily, at the isthmus between North and South Redondo Beach. Twice as many cyclists turn into the HS parking lot as car drivers

It’s beautiful to see public transit become part of the culture of an LA region. We want to see the same for the South Bay.
What’s special about this extension is the A Line, since entering service in 2003 as the Gold Line, is now very much part of the culture of the San Gabriel Valley.
HS students grow up riding it, people are accustomed to using it, electeds are all on board, & there’s a built-in community of support.

El Segundo is one of the cities benefitted by this carve-out.
The city has resisted zoning for housing east of PCH, and has a disproportionately low residential pop compared to number of jobs.
Tell El Segundo to zone for housing near its rail stations: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8416870/E...

Hmm, what could have caused this fence to bend like that?
A car. It’s always the cars and the drivers.
