LA's metro system is not under utilized. Have you been on the subway at rush hour? Have you been on some of the buses? Ridership is high and growing. The Wilshire corridor has the highest bus ridershi...

One thing I always find lacking in arguments against high-speed rail is a discussion of alternatives to expected increase in travel demands. Freeways do not scale up well for massive capacity becaus...

If you actually read the original story you'd realize the $1,000 is the minimum damages collected for the cyclist in the civil case if they win. It's $1,000 or damages awarded by judge, which ever is ...

As a walker have you had bicyclists come up to you and shout get off the sidewalk, physically grab you, throw eggs or beer cans at you, make deliberate moves that seriously endanger your life? I'm gue...

What you're failing to realize in this is that on the road harassment of cyclists is why we have cyclists on the sidewalk. Most cyclists do not want to ride on the sidewalk because on a sidewalk, the ...

I think there is still plenty of room to improve and evolve for the event, but I had a great time. Number 14, the Sandbox, with the giant interactive hand projections, was worth coming out for by it s...

Correction, the protest was against the light sentencing of Mahdavi, it was only a coincidence that Lindsy Lohan stuff was going on at the same time. Mahdavi got less hours of community service time t...

I think many of the low traffic volume places we currently stick 4-way stops at would be better served by small roundabouts. It forces traffic to slow down for intersection, but if circle is empty doe...
