Unleashed: L.A. County's Bicycle Master Plan
Bicyclists, if you can safely ride with no hands, go ahead and clap them for a few seconds. L.A. County has released its 2011 Final Bicycle Master Plan.
The Plan, which has been in development since 2009, "proposes a vision for a diverse regional bicycle system of interconnected bicycle corridors, support facilities, and programs to make bicycling more practical and desirable to a broader range of people in the County," according to the document, and "is intended to guide the development and maintenance of a comprehensive bicycle network and set of programs throughout the unincorporated communities of the County of Los Angeles for 20 years (2012 to 2032)."
About 816 miles of new bikeways throughout L.A. County are proposed in The Plan, as are recommendations for various bicycle-friendly policies and programs.

A public hearing regarding The Plan and the Environmental Impact Report is slated for Wednesday, November 16 at 9am. The hearing will be conducted by the County of Los Angeles Regional Planning Commission and will take place at the Hall of Records, Room 150, 320 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
