Pico Robertson is not the best connected neighborhood. I might take the 28 to Union Station and transfer to Ventura Metrolink, which has a Burbank Airport stop

I’ve also always felt like “slab window” is a pretty poor name, you don’t necessarily need a literal hole in the Farallon, it’s likely enough for it to just “finish” subducting, leaving some space to be filled by hotter mantle

I think that’s correct, but Neenach may also be due to the same mechanism, it was just immediately (in geologically adjusted terms) split by the San Andreas

The most compelling explanation for Clear Lake I’m aware of is that it’s due to aesthenospheric upwelling filling the gap left by the sinking Juan de Fuca plate as the Mendocino triple junction heads north. Similar (but older) Cenozoic volcanism is in the Berkeley/Oakland hills and Pinnacles NP

The “LADOT can’t do concrete” thing is so strange to me, LA politicians treat it like it’s a law of thermodynamics. I don’t understand why a budget line item for a small team of civil engineers and an executive order saying “you do concrete now” wouldn’t solve it

I hope you’re right, though it wouldn’t be the first sidewalk repair in the neighborhood in recent years without a curb cut, it happened at Lucile and Hoover a while back

This is great! A couple of suggestions:
In East Hollywood, Lexington is a nice way to cross Virgil and Vermont and get to the Heliotrope/Edgemont route.
In Glassell Park, Fletcher (N of San Fernando) to Estara to Ave 33 to Verdugo is a nice way to survive crossing the 2 and Eagle Rock Blvd.

It’s genuinely a great option for getting around DTLA, really expands the lunch option radius. Sadly, I think the maintenance of the bikes has fallen off while they are in contract limbo
