It was a short week, but Streetsblog Los Angeles had another hit on Monday with a video showing how convenient it is to use BikeLink smart bike lockers at L.A. Metro Stations. You can park a bike very easily and very securely for just 75 cents for the first 24 hours.

Friday:

Streetsblog L.A. explored the push to create a new pedestrian plaza by closing part of 6th Street in Koreatown. Local residents are working with City Councilmember Heather Hutt and the city Transportation Department (LADOT) to do an upcoming weekend pilot, which could become permanent.
