This is a great project that I strongly support. Good luck.
Thank you LACBC, Ridazz, LADOT and LAPD for working together to make LA a better place to ride.
I think that LADOT Bike Blog might want to review the fashion by which the signs are being put up. Also, as it has been asserted that budgetary concerns are intimately known by LADOT Bike Blog, surely LADOT Bike Blog has access to a comprehensive map of where the posters are and will be placed. Such a map being made available would be a wonderful resource.
Great suggestion, Randall. We’re working on a map as I type. We wouldn’t go so far as to say that budgetary concerns are “intimately known” by us, but rather that they are “an ever-present concern in our thought process”.
You’ll pardon me for thinking that LADOT Bike Blog does indeed know intimately the respective budgetary concerns whan LADOT Bike Blog makes such statements as “We can say, however, that nothing about the Give Me 3 campaign comes at the expense of either DASH or LA’s bus riders.”
