I find myself increasingly fascinated with the alleys of Eagle Rock. They are not so numerous but there are definitely enough of them for me to notice. Lately I have thought that if slightly reconfigured, some of Eagle Rock’s alleys can resemble Dutch bicycle streets. Dutch bicycle streets are narrow roads where cars and bikes [...]

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Bicycle, Colorado Boulevard, Here's an Idea..., LA Bike Plan, LADOT, Safety, Traffic Calming, Walk, Yosemite Drive on November 6, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Note: In my part one post for how to make Yosemite safer I suggested some kind of barrier for private auto use yet still allowing buses and emergency vehicles to pass. If that is wanting too much, I still think there is much which can be done to improve the safety of the many pedestrians [...]
