Harris Silver: Six Transportation Ideas For LA's Mayor Elect Eric Garcetti

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 14:28:34 GMT

In the Movie Annie Hall, Woody Allen pokes some fun at LA by saying. I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light. While he was wrong about LA cultural contributions, he wasn't far off on his observations about LA's car culture. Residents move around Los Angeles in a transportation mono-culture that is environmentally unsustainable and puts a friction on the economy by wasting billions on congestion every year. Although LA has an extensive bus system and a more limited rail system that is still under construction, 97% of all trips are in automobiles and 90% of those trips are single occupancy. Drive around during rush hour and you see entire neighborhoods filled with cars. Short distance trips that should take 15-20 minutes sometimes take up to an hour because there are so many vehicles on the road--even though you can turn right on red. With LA having just elected a new Mayor, the timing feels right for putting out some transportation and planning ideas that can help make LA a more livable city. 1. Improve the walking environment. One of the reasons that so few people walk in LA is that the walking environment is really unpleasant, and often non existent. LA needs to start by adding sidewalks where none exist. An observational example is on the West side of Pacific Street in Venice there is no sidewalk. Everyone knows that Venice is one of the most walkable an ...

No Honeymoon for LA Mayor-Elect Eric Garcetti

Sun, 02 Jun 2013 15:00:16 GMT

The Mayor-Elect of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti and I share a birthday, and in the very late innings of the most recent episode of that most joyous day, the then-candidate sent me an email: “Hope you got to celebrate it for one of us,” he said. I told him that I was pulling for him but would complain the moment he was elected. “I’d expect nothing less,” he responded, ever the candidate, still working it. After the feel-good moment of Garcetti’s election as Mayor of the second most important city in the universe–it is presently so important that three-fourths of its inhabitants couldn’t care less about who runs it–fades away, I have a feeling that lots and lots of people are going to get in line to call in markers on the man they helped make Mayor of our city. And I also have a feeling that Garcetti as usual is one step ahead of all of them, expecting it, even waiting for it, and chuckling along with them. I was on hand in the John Ferraro Council Chamber Thursday when Council President Herb Wesson announced to the public that Mayor-Elect Garcetti was entering the Chamber. Garcetti entered to thunderous and sustained applause: after all, this is a beast Council knows well, unlike Controller Wendy Greuel, who became increasingly abstruse to them as the recent campaign neared its awesome climax. Garcetti somehow ran as a redeemer–that is a relative term–and even as a bit of an outsider, an agent of change. As he is just as much a fixtu ...
