The embeds below are from TikTok, but you can get all the Streetsblog California videos at Instagram, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts if TikTok isn’t your thing. Streetsblog L.A. videos are on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Bluesky, Instagram, and Facebook.

This week, we also have a bonus video from the Streetsblog NYC channel with a clip of the three remaining NYC mayoral candidates opining on enforcing traffic laws on delivery people.

Monday:

Downtown Los Angeles has a new “Toronto Barrier” protected bike lane. There has to be some World Series symbolism at plan here, no? Read more about the pilot, and give L.A. City input via an online survey.

Thursday:

The federal government is monkeying around with the postal service. Get your mail-in ballots in the box now!

@streetsblogcal
Trump Doesn’t Want Your Mail in ballot to count, get it in early. #voteearly #votebymail #YESON50 “State officials are warning that if you’re voting by mail this year, get that ballot in as soon as possible.” “New Postal Service rules mean your ballot gets postmarked the day it’s processed, not the day you drop it in the box or at the post office.”
