This is a no-brainer and you've done the work to make it clear. This absolutely SHOULD be in the plan. I think its good strategy for us cyclists, along with our allies (like the business owners you've talked to) to seek clear concessions during this draft period. This should be one of them. I'm imagining there should be a few key changes in each council district. If we don't see these clear concessions we should lobby for the plan to be rejected. Over at UCLA, we are going to demand certain things - i.e. SOME improvements to the Wilshire gauntlet, revising certain access routes, like Beverly Glen and Sepulveda, from "potential" to "proposed," etc. If we don't see these things added we will not support passing the Bike Plan and we should go hard to Koretz with that view. At least that's my take on it right now. Good work Josef. Bike Plan, are you hearing us? Josef,
