I can’t stop thinking about the suggestion that most roads in Los Angeles could lose a lane and be totally fine from a car traffic perspective. This is from an LADOT engineer.

Logging back in briefly to celebrate my 1 year state government jobiversary! 🎉it’s been amazing to be on this team!

@gatodejazz @MobilityForWho LADOT is responsible for traffic control devices (signs, markings, curb zones, traffic signals and beacons), parking meters and operates DASH and Commuter Express buses.

[Katrina M. Kaiser (they/them) @KatrinaKaiser]

My fellow civil servants have pushed me to clarify, dot is responsible for *planning infrastructure from curb-to-curb (on roadways, which are primarily made of asphalt) and dpw is responsible for sidewalks (concrete) and all materials themselves.

[Katrina M. Kaiser (they/them) @KatrinaKaiser]

The visibility of the new infrastructure is raising Qs about why it’s not better from neighbors. The answer is “this is the process, responsibility is complicated” but people shouldn’t accept that. LA shouldn’t have 3+ depts/bureaus for streets! It’s nuts!

Follow-up to Monday's event:
We ask public officials to finish the job for cyclists, taking a ride down Venice to assess the sad state of the new bike lanes

I feel nuts every time I say “LADOT is responsible for asphalt but BSS/Engineering is responsible for concrete”. We (electeds/staff) have an ongoing job that’s not just about building a vision but also bridging these communication gaps and advocating for new gov structure

The office of the company that plasters ads all over construction fencing is kind of cool

I’m moderating a talk 6p tonight @villagewellcc about connecting past generations of activism w current activism. I’d love your support + thoughtful questions, since many of you are more experienced at organizing than me!

[Katrina M. Kaiser (they/them) @KatrinaKaiser]

@CarterRubin @BSSLosAngeles That’s what LADOT said when we talked about it last week: BSS data isn’t updated to reflect that the bike lane exists yet, but it will be. They said they’ll follow up to make sure it’s in good condition for the event in July.

[Katrina M. Kaiser (they/them) @KatrinaKaiser]

I deleted a previous tweet about a bike lane sweeper because I’m not actually sure if it is! This is what I saw, this is what on the @BSSLosAngeles Facebook

My horoscope when I start my day with an embarrassing “retract my tweet” moment:

[Katrina M. Kaiser (they/them) @KatrinaKaiser]

Sorry for getting everyone overly excited!! We really do need bike lane cleaning here, lots of friends are reporting flat tires in the new lanes @BSSLosAngeles

[Katrina M. Kaiser (they/them) @KatrinaKaiser]

@Rooivaulk You might be right
