Los Angeles has a new law governing Measure HLA. In their recent newsletter, Streets for All – the main advocacy group behind the passage of Measure HLA – calls the city ordinance “a big step forward” that they hope will allow the city to “move faster going forward to implement HLA.”
Last year, city voters approved Measure HLA, supporting the city installing more bus, bike and walk amenities by installing projects included in the city’s mobility plan as it repaves streets. HLA took effect in April, 2024, with the ballot language becoming city law. Then the city wrote its own HLA law: the Measure HLA implementation ordinance.
Last summer, the City Council directed the City Attorney to write the new HLA ordinance. That process included some back and forth over what should be included.
