Villaraigosa: L.A. Needs More for Bikes

FINALLY!!!! Onlly took a trip to Denmark to realize this?


Villaraigosa in Copenhagen: L.A. Needs to Do More for Bikes

by Damien Newton on December 17, 2009
12_17_09_bicycle.jpgPhoto: Nicomachus/Flickr

Yesterday Mayor Villaraigosa gave an interview to KPCC, Southern California Public Radio, where he talked about what Los Angeles can do to be a more green city. CicLAvia has the mayor's comments about bicycles:

In the area of bicycling I’ve got to do a better job and the city’s got to do a better job… we’re planning to… close down some streets in the city. We’re going to give people, probably on a Sunday, an opportunity to just take over streets. Much as we took over the freeways you remember on the 110.

CicLAvia makes two quick observations: the Mayor sounds an awful lot like Professor Robert Gottlieb and second, it sounds an awful lot like the Mayor is committing to a "closed street" festival similar to Bogota's Ciclovia or New York's Summer Streets.

Now I know there's going to be a lot of skeptics that this means that the Mayor is suddenly going to become Mr. Bicycle. However, let's remember two things in this Season of Hope: exposure to a real bike town can have an impact on the previously uninitiated such as when then-Councilwoman Greuel witnessed Denver's temporary bike share program during the DNC in 2008 and came home a believer. Second, New York's Mayor Bloomberg, and then NYCDOT Commissioner Iris Weinshal, were Livable Streets villains until he made green transportation a priority and hired Janette Sadik-Khan.

It will be interesting to see if he actually makes anything happen or if he'll lose his motivation once he gets comfortable with L.A.'s car culture...I hope to be surprised.

The mayor of Chicago is a bicycle person so therefore their bicycle infrastructure and . All we have to do is show him that we are riding daily in numbers. LACBC is doing that. We need to have him acknowledge this growing trend of hit & runs and the need for more bike lanes and driver education of cyclists rights. Get the Mayor on board and the less work it will be for change.

Wow that sounds like a dream come true! I wonder if he did any psilocybins while in europe to come to this conclusion.

Let's not get too hysterically happy, but this is good news!

After the mayor pioneered sharrows in NELA, he solicited a general response from the public on his COP15 web page, his YouTube channel, Twitter and via a contact me form on his site.

Social media works to get through to the mayor's staff, and they communicate with hizzoner. Cycling advocates, take note!

Keep your response on-point, short, and digestable. This is one small way we can let him know that he's not doing his duty by ignoring the benefits of planning for bicycles in the roadway.

Apparently, it works (a little bit). Hopefully this is our foot in the door - he can't be green while pissing on bikes and handing out thousands to car owners!

@villaraigosa Electric vehicles may be cleaner than gas powered cars, but they are still cars and do nothing to alleviate traffic in LA.

A user can only receive DMs if they follow you as well.

But I'm sure if anything he checks the @villalalalalahatever its spelled to gather suggestions from the public. Just include his twitter name in a post and it will show up for him. Thanks for posting, I'm gonna follow him now.

Thats a great idea. Not too many folks show up to day rides, but maybe this might inspire some. I dunno.

'Shop the mayor face into pictures of rides and events. Make a fake press release with yourself as the contact person, and email it out to as many press outlets as you can get a hold of.
