LA has been suffering from traffic, car crash deaths, and car air pollution for decades. Having each individual person travel to and from their job every day for 30+ minutes each way riding on a fire-propelled 2-ton metal block is incredibly inefficient and damaging. If they can start to push back on that it would be great. It’s a pretty uphill battle though. > about one percent of Los Angeles' commuters bike to work. Sixty-seven percent drive. Yeah, because the way the city has been configured, it’s incredibly inconvenient to make trips any other way. The only way to improve that is by adding transit (which they have been trying to do) and reconfiguring roads to be more pedestrian/cyclist friendly (which this article is complaining about). If these experiments which have been successful in other countries turn out to not work in LA, they can try something else next time.
