“Drinking beer doesn’t make you fat, It makes you lean….
Against bars, tables, chairs, and poles.”
“Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

LACBC and the Downtown LA Neighborhood Council (DLANC) have been working since the ThinkBike Workshops this past September to see the vision developed in the workshops for protected bike lanes, also known as cycle tracks implemented on Spring and Main Street. We’ve been meeting with LADOT and thanks to the leadership of Mayor Villaraigosa and Councilmembers Huizar & Perry, Phase 1 of the campaign should be completed by the end of November!
This project will bring the first bike lanes to Downtown Los Angeles linking cultural and civic landmarks to the downtown business and residential core. LADOT will implement a buffered bike lane on Spring Street between Cesar Chavez and 9th Street. This first phase of the project will open Spring Street up for people on bicycles and help DLANC implement their plan forParklets on Spring Street.

The City of Los Angeles has an opportunity to approve a new bridge for bicyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians that would connect Griffith Park and the LA River Bike Path on the west side of the LA River to north Atwater Village on the east side of the River. This project would be a huge benefit to bicyclists as well as pedestrians and equestrians. The bridge entrance would be from a residential neighborhood in north Atwater Village, thereby making access to the River Path and Griffith Park by bicycle easy and safe for cyclists of all abilities, including families with small children.
