Road Kill Gil has been defeated! Congratulations to Highland Parkβs very own @EunissesH who ran a people-powered campaign for Los Angeles City Council. Looking forward to a North Figueroa that is safer by design, not enforcement. #CD1#visionzeroLA

LOS ANGELES CITY PRIMARY NOMINATING ELECTION Member of the City Council, 1st District

0.8-miles of new bike lanes on North Figueroa Street in Cypress Park - represented by the strongly anti-bike Councilmember @cmgilcedillo https://t.co/9pyiBTF04X
The painted bike lanes are unprotected, unbuffered, and on an excessively wide and deadly section of North Figueroa with five traffic lanes. The LADOT design from seven years ago included a road diet and buffered bike lanes, our design proposed parking-protected lanes. #Fig4ALL
#Fig4ALL UPDATE 2022: 12 years after being proposed in the 2010 #LABikePlan, 7 years after LA City Councilmember @GilCedillo blocked them, @LADOTofficial are painting bike lanes on North Figueroa between Marmion Way and the #LAriver in Cypress Park.
Grateful for Mowery's efforts to help create a Figueroa for all. Hope she finds the support she deserves in @RobertGarciaLB's Long Beach. https://t.co/su5HeJKqbW
