SD’s potential SB79 glow up assuming these 215, 235, 7, & 10 stops qualify under § 21060.2(a)(1). FYI: I don't think the 225 meets peak frequency?

About five families enjoying this small park in LA near the river trail. Not a single one arrived by car.

Finally had the pleasure of trying out this “bike rack” my fork couldn’t even fit through the slats. 🤦‍♀️

An air trip that should have been a choo choo trip.

Happy Birthday 1st Birthday to my Cheese, Shai-Hulud, Little Shit, and Chestnut.

Multiple drivers failed to yield to these kids waiting to cross even after they activated the the RRFB. The speeds on 30th Street are too damn high!

14.) I was expecting to see more use of quick build materials considering the rapid implementation of the biking network, but every single separated bike lane I saw was separated with a simple granite curb.

12.) Misc pictures of bike traffic

11.) Massive separated bike lanes / shared spaces created by removing lanes or whole traffic directions from boulevards

10.) Use of thermoplastic striping on top of curbs rather than paint to quickly and cheaply mark new loading zones

9.) eBike Battery “parking” available at the Ópera

8.) Smol taxies, smol maintenance bois, smol emergency vehicles

7.) Quick build sidewalk widening used fencing or bollards to delineate space. The hodgepodge of materials felt as if they just used whatever they had on hand and didn’t overthink it.

6.) SO. MANY. CARGO and DELIVERY BIKES.

5.) The only protected intersection I found. They used bike symbols instead of the typical North American conflict striping to indicate the bike pathway through the intersection

4.) Bike parking was prolific and on every.
single.
block.
The only long term parking I observed was at the HSR station and was clearly not enough to meet demand.

3.) Delivery/drop-off zones are surprisingly narrow (guessing around 7-8 feet) with enough space for about 2 vehicles. They are FREQUENT, found both on most residential blocks and larger boulevards. The sidewalk is narrowed at these zones to give just enough passing space for other vehicles.

2.) A majority of residential streets are slow streets. Many only allowed only one-way travel for vehicular traffic but often marked to permit bidirectional bike traffic. Some streets closed to vehicular traffic used bollards but many were simply marked with three stop-bars and a symbol.

Just got back from Paris, some observations, Part 1:

1.) Raised bike lanes were frequently one-way and fairly narrow—about 4-5ish feet or so—despite large bike volumes. They were separated from pedestrian zones by a granite edge (with or without a lip) and thermoplastic stripes.
