Measure R raised the local sales tax rate to pay for transportation improvements. Cycling and pedestrain projects should get some share of this money, but the amount is still under debate. Please come out to Wednesday’s Transportation Committee meeting at 2pm to continue to support 10% for bikes and peds so that it becomes officially approved. A strong showing at the meeting will make a big difference in getting 10% for bikes and peds!
10% for bikes and peds will directly affect the funding available for bike projects.
When: Wednesday, November 18, 2pm
Where: City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, Ca 90012. Room 1010
Announcement via Aurisha Smolarski of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition.
SoapBoxLA also has some information on the weird math being used to calculate that 10% number.
Please take the following survey to assist collecting the “experience and knowledge of cyclists in the City of Los Angeles.”
The survey will also support a “white paper” that will be released in February on behalf of the Los Angeles Sustainability Collaborative (www.lasustainability.org).

This aint no twilight lucky for you. It is an armwrestle away as to the choice of the movie. Americathon or Idiocracy(i spelled that totally wrong
) which proves the point If Steve doesnt show up then we show Americathon. If he does show up we armwrestle steve for it. Americathon deals with a future with no oil everyone rides bikes and the goverment goes bankrupt and tries to raise money pulling a telethon, this movie was made in the 70′s yes, the precious 70′s where movies were nieve and predicted the future. why didnt our parents listen. Oh and meatloaf eats a whole car. George carlin narrates and Elvis costello is the prime minister. Come take a look at what they thought the future was going to be like in the 70′s.Pretty close. 6pm thankgiving for us and 7pm movie starts. popcorn and bring thanksgiving left overs and you get a burger king crown.
