Your site is really cool to me and your topics are very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of blog managers are doing these five mistakes”. http://is.gd/HWKqeJ You will be suprised how simple they are to fix.

@JJJ – Good thought but nope – no signs are on these pending implementation projects.

Next months ThinkBike workshop could be a big help in getting increased cycling in Los Angeles. I could barely contain my excitement to know that some experts from the Netherlands are coming here as consultants to evaluate and help improve cycling here. Check out the final report from last years Chicago ThinkBike workshop.

http://www.fietsberaad.nl/library/repository/bestanden/Chicago%20report%20vs2-1.pdf

The people who were in the two workshop groups are listed on page 18.

Just imagine if people from Metro, LADOT, Caltrans and the Dutch experts are participants in two or three ThinkBike workshop groups in L.A. Then the Dutch experts list what they see as the strengths, weaknesses and threats to cycling in Los Angeles, as they did in the Chicago report, starting on page 26. That could be a eye-opener for quite a few people here.

“For some reason LADOT has included these projects based on their “signed date” (not sure what that is… maybe it’s when LADOT Assistant General Manager John Fisher signs off on the design?)”

Is it possible that “signed date” means when the Bike Lane Begin and Bike Lane End signs are installed (by one group of city employees) but the road painting, done by another group, is delayed?

Perhaps visit a phantom bike lane and see if those useless white signs are in existence.
