Paris’s Metro 14 line is sick, blows my LA mind: -Fully automated (and opened 1990s) -1min 30 sec peak headways -Insane acceleration + little dwell time -Platform screen doors -Fare gates + security at them -Sick views as you watch from front

wild that LA had an opportunity during new apt construction to create very large pedestrian paths or linear park in Warner Center - imagine if this temp closed off roadway was turned into that instead of the real plan (same road/sidewalk width + dedicate 8 ft for landscaping :/)

LA said they were too broke to install a crosswalk here after resident requests (next to a popular park + new apartment), so Crosswalk Collective LA thankfully took the initiative. I bet the city will find the money to remove it tho like others before :/

Santa Monica just built around *20* blocks worth of concrete bike lanes on Broadway by replacing some prior plastic bollards + creating new stretches. The city now has an almost-continuous city east-west protected path (but has lil gaps) Here’s a finished stretch:

TIL LADOT installed this “beg button” for cyclists in Sepulveda Tunnel 20+ yrs ago: It’s textbook “designed by a traffic engineer” stuff - expects cyclist to stop mid-travel lane, press, move on, and expects drivers going 45+ mph up steep curves to notice/care:
