Support bike lanes in Hollywood!

Alexander Totz, LACBC’s Bicycle Ambassador to Hollywood, brings a warning. The president of the Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood Council, Anastasia Mann, has said that the Los Angeles Department of City Planning’s new community plan for Hollywood will bring the city “to a complete stop.” The plan calls for studying whether to put dedicated lanes for bikes and buses on most main streets in the neighborhood. She wants the neighborhood council to send a letter challenging the plan. Totz calls for advocates and activists to show up to the next Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood Council (HHWNC)’s meeting, 6-9 pm and vote on its draft response to the updated Hollywood Community Plan (HCP2) on February 21st.
