Transportation, Parking, and Streetscape Committee

The Transportation, Parking and Streetscape Committee is an advocate for our neighborhood and our stakeholders on transportation issues with the City Of Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). These issues include traffic congestion; parking programs for businesses and residents; improving alternative modes, including transit, bicycling, and walking; and senior transportation programs. We also address issues regarding our streetscape, including billboards, sidewalks, street furniture, graffiti and beautification projects.

The City of Los Angeles is currently updating its Bicycle Plan. On August 11, 2009, Mid City West’s Board of Directors adopted recommendations regarding a neighborhood bicycle network. A map showing recommended routes is shown below and is also available at http://tinyurl.com/MCWBikeNetwork or http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=118072909484629243883.000471881fec8c2937e92&ll=34.077119,-118.357601&spn=0.063699,0.153637&z=13. We welcome your comments and feedback.
Metro is currently evaluating proposed routes and station locations for a Westside subway extension. Mid City West strongly supports the subway. More information about Metro’s planning process can be found at http://www.metro.net/projects_studies/westside/default.htm
