In the name of helping cyclists
By: Kenny Melcombe
After the Los Angeles Mayor had a bone breaking accident on his bicycle, Villaraigosa begun a campaign to widen streets in our city. The Mayor says that roughly $3.2 million will be set aside for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the 2011 fiscal year.
The city is also updating its bicycle plan, which envisions 1,633 miles of bike lanes, paths and routes. But the last plan called for 526 miles of bikeways, but so far only 354 miles exist.
Villaraigosa says the city needs to invest in bicycling infrastructure and focus on traffic safety enforcement to make streets safer for cyclists.
