Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/8h2ANBZ_0xZI2ngfZ-ud9ednzhc Decades of pleas by park users weren’t enough, nor was a speeding van running over (now bike activist) Damian Kevitt and removing his leg. Now, a much-loved community elder struck and killed on a bike path in Griffith Park finally got one of the park’s roads closed to through traffic through a “temporary” yet “indefinite” pilot program. Why is it so difficult for Los Angeles to implement Safe Streets, Transportation Equity, and its own mobility plan? The following very active voices in Human Scale Streets weigh in at the following times: Progressive CD4 Council Member Nithya Raman - 2:50 Candidate for LA Mayor, California Representative Karen Bass - 16:34 Streets for All founder Michael Schneider - 18:11 And Jimmy Lizama, founder of the Bicycle Kitchen - 35:20 With interviews and commentary by Cohosts Don Ward (Midnight Ridazz, Wolfpack Hustle), Taylor Nichols (Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee Representative), and Lindsay Sturman (Liveable Communities). Edited by Kevin Burton (West Hollywood Bicycle Coalition).
