@jessezwick I am never not shocked by the inanity of the discourse in Santa Monica. Wood is such an excellent and sustainable building material and I appreciate you advocating it's use.

This is what I have in mind when I say I want protected bike lanes

found some new city gravel today 😍

We asked students across LA how they would redesign their schools’ outdoor spaces, and the answers were clear: kids want more trees, more plants, and more shade. No child dreams of playing on asphalt.

I would love to see these on my routes

[Maylin @tufacemay]

Had to come see it for myself. The photos are bad, but yes, this is a *new* bus shelter at Olympic/Western.

Tabling at an elementary school's Earth Day Festival and kids are taking chunks of the asphalt to hold down their visions of a green schoolyard

Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment has mulch and compost operations they graciouslly gave us a tour of last week as we are digging into getting more types and more abundance of ecological resources available to residents

It's amazing that all the City had to do was concede the land and allow it to be built and then outside entities are willing invest $1M/unit to develop affordable housing.

[Joe Cohen @CohenSite]

This project in Santa Monica is expected to cost more than $1 million per affordable housing unit... on free city-owned land

Painted pavement is still pavement. I'm not fooled by those renderings of a utopian streetscapes achieved through paint. The best streets have minimal street.

[Dustin Herrmann @RustBeltEcology]

@streetsforall Looks hot and glaringly sunny there

This sign is a reminder that for the most part LA is a long way from taking meaningful actions to address traffic violence.

[LADOT @LADOTofficial]

Yesterday we joined @CD5LosAngeles in unveiling a memorial sign at Olympic and Overland to honor Monique Muñoz, whose life was taken too soon by an act of speeding on our streets. This sign serves as a reminder to drivers to slow down and practice safe driving behavior.
