While many excellent bike projects are slated to be funded, only about half the projects submitted will receive funding, unless we work to increase the MTA bicycle allocation. Pedestrian projects are also under-funded and should be increased similarly as bikes. Also read the recent L.A. Times article about MTA bike funding. If you want to see these and other bike projects funded, urge the MTA to do so. 500 W. Temple Street, Room 821 Los Angeles, CA 90012 Honorable Supervisor Yaroslavsky I am writing to urge you to act to increase bicycle funding in the upcoming MTA Call for Projects.
Pedestrian funding needs a similar increase.
Bicycle and pedestrian projects work together to promote clean air, public health, and livable communities. Specifically I urge you to support funding for the PCH Bike Path Extension. This bike path would give Westside bicycle commuters a safe alternative to a crowded and dangerous stretch of Pacific Coast Highway. Honorable Supervisor Molina I am writing to urge you to act to increase bicycle funding in the upcoming MTA Call for Projects. Pedestrian funding needs a similar increase.
