Seems to me they want to do as little as possible to get credit for making LA "Bike Friendly." Sorry I couldn't make the Working Group meeting yesterday, but thank you for all the effort you and the Bike Writers are putting into making sure an efficient and logical plan gets put into place.

I think the biggest failure of the draft bike master plan is the wholesale retreat from bike lanes designated on major streets. That peak-hour bus lane is coming back - probably in late 2010 or early 2011... for buses, though - in city of LA parts of Wilshire. It will include a big sign that says "Bus Only" and a little sign that says "Bikes OK"... like the bus lanes in downtown LA. Long Beach is doing those physically-separated bike facilities... due to open in February! What’s the difference between the blue and purple lines on your map?
