L.A. City is taking steps toward improved bike path maintenance, implementing camera enforcement of bike lanes, and further codifying Measure HLA.
This morning the L.A. City Council Transportation Committee (in some cases acting jointly as Transportation and Public Works Committee) approved three livable streets items. These do not take effect until the full city council approves them; that generally takes place within a few weeks after committee approval.
Bike Lane Enforcement
Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez introduced a motion (Council file 25-0558)
to lay the groundwork for the city to implement automated bike lane enforcement. The motion directs the Transportation Department (LADOT) to report on the feasibility of camera technology to ticket drivers parked in bicycle lanes. The motion specifically calls for enforcement on Hollywood Boulevard, though, of course, drivers park in bike lanes throughout the city.
