Streets for All Members Club

We’ve had a big 2024:
  • Measure HLA passed with the support of over 65% of voters
  • We fought to help win progressive majorities in WeHo, Culver City, and Santa Monica
  • Five of our state bills were signed into law

Between an upcoming challenging federal government, planning for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympic/Paralympic games, and the City of LA’s financial crisis, Streets for All’s work is more important than ever.

We can have safe, efficient, healthy ways to get around – but we need to fight for them.

Our success so far has happened with only five full time staff (plus our amazing volunteers) – we’re punching way above our weight! We want to lean into our success, double down, and protect our local and state momentum during the Trump era.

Earlier this year we launched the SFA Members Club – a way to get perks and support the organization on an ongoing basis. Today, we’re launching our first members drive. Our goal is to get to 200 members before our first Member event in December!

Irvine debuts its first protected street lane exclusive for bikes

Irvine, already one of the most cycling-friendly cities in Orange County, took another step this week to improve bicycling safety in town by opening its first “Class IV” protected bikeway.

The 1.25-mile-long bikeway near the Great Park is the city’s first street lane dedicated exclusively to bicyclists. The lane, beginning at the intersection of Cadence and Benchmark, is separated from cars on the road by a physical barrier and is open to all bicycle types, including e-bikes of all classes.

Former professional cyclist and U.S. Olympian Tony Cruz christened the bikeway, leading a group of city staff, community members and students from Irvine’s Youth Action Team on the first official ride down the lane.

The city also unveiled its first electric street sweeper at the event. The sweeper will service the new bike lane.

Fountain Avenue’s future considered post-election

From BeverlyPress.com

Fountain Avenue may not have been on the agenda, but residents did not miss the opportunity to discuss the proposed streetscape redesign during the Nov. 18 City Council meeting.

“I just don’t know how we got here,” resident Cathy Blaivas said. “I really feel like community was left out, and I really hope that it doesn’t proceed much further without really, truly engaging the community.”

The Nov. 5 election saw Mayor John Erickson reelected and business license commissioner Danny Hang elected. Both candidates were staunch proponents of adding bike lanes on Fountain Avenue, as well as expanding the sidewalks and reducing the street to two lanes of traffic. Currently, Fountain Avenue is primarily four lanes, with sections reduced to two lanes in favor of street parking during certain hours of the day.

“There was such a huge fire the other day at Fountain and Highland that the fire department had to call for backup [from the West Hollywood Fire Department],” resident Mikie Friedman said. “Imagine how slow it would’ve been for fire responders if there had only been one lane in each direction.”
