LADOT Advocates For State Speed Camera Bill


The Los Angeles Department of Transportation spoke in support of California Assembly Bill 645, which would allow some California cities – including Los Angeles – to install speed cameras in traffic zones deemed dangerous.

"Too many people are dying on our streets and these crashes disproportionately impact low-income communities, people walking, people biking, our seniors, and our children," said Makenzi Rasey, LADOT, at a press conference Tuesday in support of the legislation.

Mayor Bass Becomes Metro Board Chair




Mayor Karen Bass became chair of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Board of Directors on Monday. Bass spoke about the promise of a “car-free” Olympics during her remarks at Union Station. Metro has been building out its public transit system ahead of the 2028 Olympics, with a massive infusion of tax dollars. Bass also spoke about unprovoked attacks that have occurred on the transit system, saying that: “Metro is truly an essential service, but for Los Angeles to thrive in fact, Los Angeles to survive in the future, Metro cannot be mostly a system of last resort. It must be a system of first choice.”

All propose the addition of new recreational facilities, including soccer fields, pickleball courts, and a kayak launch on the river. Several components of the plan are already in the planning stages, including the Balboa Aquatic Center, the Hjelte Soccer Field, and an extension of the LA River trail from White Oak to Burbank.
