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.
