Farewell Sgt. Krumer, Hello Four New LAPD Liaisons

October 11, 2012 News 0 Comments

For several years, Sgt. David Krumer has been the bicycling community’s main point of contact with the Los Angeles Police Department.  Many can attest that he was always consistent and quick to respond to all manner of issues that arose. LACBC was not alone in relying on him for assistance. Sgt. Krumer has been reassigned and we’d like to thank him for all that he’s done for bicyclists in Los Angeles. Sgt. Krumer, we wish you the best. Come ride with us any time!

With Sgt. Krumer’s departure as the LAPD go-to guy for all things bike, the department recently announced four new liaisons to take Krumer’s place. Each liaison will represent one of four traffic divisions in the City of Los Angeles. Their role is to be available to bicycling public. If, for example, you’ve had an altercation with a motorist or if you have an issue with an LAPD officer that you’ve encountered, the liaisons are there for you. You can contact them according to the traffic division you were in at the time of your incident. For a more detailed description of the change at LAPD, you can read blogger and LACBC Board member Ted Rogers' post on LAStreetsblog. A map of the divisions is on the LACBC blog. Starting now, keep this list handy!

NBC Universal Agrees to Fund Bike Path and Lanes

September 28, 2012 News 0 Comments

A week ago, we blogged about the NBC Universal Evolution Plan, a $1.6 billion investment in our region’s film and entertainment industry.  LACBC, along with our allies in the River Family, was greatly concerned about the project’s failure to include the LA River Bike Path along its northern edge. LACBC was also concerned about the lack of on-street bicycle infrastructure in the project’s traffic mitigation program.  We issued an action alert and you responded. Yesterday, the Planning Commission heard you loud and clear. The result is that NBC Universal will invest $3,875,000 to study, design, and construct bikeways in the vicinity of Universal City.

Thanks to everyone who sent in a letter of support to protect the LA River bike path! We'll be updating you in future. The approval of these funds is far from assured and will require a big push from the bicycling community.
