Cyclist Anti-Harassment Ordinance to be Debated Tomorrow

We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

First proposed in December by Councilman Bill Rosendahl, the motion seeking a cyclist anti-harassment ordinance is on deck for tomorrow morning's L.A. City Council meeting. Two routes (err, proposals on how to tackle the issue) are up for grabs, as proposed by two separate committees, explains Damien Newton at StreetsblogLA: "The basic difference between the two? The process spelled out by the Transportation Committee is a two-step process, first an ordinance is created, then voted on by the Council. The one by Public Safety adds a third step at the beginning: first a report on possible ordinances is created, then an ordinance is written, then the Council votes."
