An image from the Final Draft Bike Plan
"The proposed draft Bicycle Plan is a comprehensive update of the current Bicycle Plan first adopted in 1996 and re-adopted by the City Council in 2007," describes a letter (.pdf) from the city. "The draft Bicycle Plan proposed approximately 696 miles of new bikeways and new policies related to implementation, education, enforcement, engineering, parking, transit integration, maintenance and evaluation."

Will all the meetings be held on October 22nd?
Yes, Fountain is a "Bike Route," but can we get one East-West bike lane across Hollywod? The plan has tons of gray dotted lines, which means proposed by not feasible at this time. And barely any new planned bike lanes on the central L.A. map. I'm disappointed.
To promote urban biking you've got to build on what you have. They should build bike lanes right out of LACC. That's where the community is. When you pass by it's obvious that's where the fire of urban biking is burning.
Also, I'm not sure who planned the big LA bike count that was on Wednesday, but I take a pretty standard route from Silver Lake to Santa Monica for my commute and there was no bike counting going on at any intersections I pass. Oh, well.
