Bike Talk - NIMBYs V Beautiful Boulevard

LA Metro held its last community meeting to get the necessary public input on project environmental studies for its 18-mile-long North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit project through four cities: Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and Los Angeles. Eagle Rock Forward introduced a bikeable, walkable, livable option- the "Beautiful Boulevard." https://www.eaglerockforward.org/ In response, Metro proposed a new “Refined F1 option” which "adopts some of the basic lane configuration aspects of part of Beautiful Boulevard, but misses most of the proposal’s features that would truly create effective rapid transit in a walkable and bikeable setting." https://la.streetsblog.org/2021/03/30/advocates-urging-support-for-a-better-bus-rapid-transit-for-eagle-rock-at-hearing-this-thursday/?fbclid=IwAR2jF_7sD6Ox2t9pXFAdUmMomHQTBTHjRM8eI-3put_AkdgTiJi9Ghq8iSk Here are the last 3.5 hours of the meeting, all of it public comment. Occasional plumbing noises are due to makeshift recording conditions.
