Dear LACBC Supporters,

Just to keep the momentum going for tomorrow’s rally, we wanted to share with you some good coverage we received today in the LA Times about our work on the Bicycle Master Plan update!

Bicycle master plan is expected to be approved by the L.A. City Council

It’s been a long ride, but bicycle riders’ push for for new routes and services is paying off. The plan calls for 1,680 miles of interconnected bikeways.

Cyclists flood Spring Street for the city’s first CicLAvia, which closed many streets for part of a day last October. The proposed master plan would eventually create 1,680 miles of interconnected bikeways.

When Mayor  Antonio Villaraigosa crashed his bike on Venice Boulevard last summer, he did more than bruise his head and shatter his elbow. He became an advocate for the city’s bicycling community.

After he was jolted off his bike by a turning taxicab, Villaraigosa convened a bicycle summit, launched a safety campaign to educate drivers and threw his support behind the city’s first CicLAvia, which closed 71/2 miles of city streets to traffic for most of a day.

He also put his clout behind an ambitious bicycle master plan that is expected to be passed Tuesday by the City Council.

The plan lays out a long-term goal of 1,680 miles of interconnected bikeways and calls for more than 200 miles of new bicycle routes every five years. It suggests that such major arteries as Figueroa Street, Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard get bike lanes in the near future.
