Joe Anthony's videos are pretty great!
Here's this week's video run-down.
Monday
Los Angeles Metro's almost-ready-to-open D Line subway extension testing hit a snag (which is good - better to discover problems before it opens - it's why Metro tests new rail lines for several months). The extension was supposed to open in March, but it looks like that has been delayed a few months. Four miles of new subway will open soon, Angelenos will be able to ride from Beverly Hills to Downtown L.A. in about 20 minutes!
Tuesday
The campaign is underway to gather signatures for the Bay Area transit measure.
Thursday
Streetsblog Los Angeles brings viewers the sad history of the intersection of 4th Street and New Hampshire Avenue in Los Angeles' Koreatown. In July 2025, a driver killed a child crossing the street there. Within days guerilla crosswalk painters installed safety improvements there. Months later the city followed with official crosswalks and a new temporary small traffic circle. The city will soon start construction on a permanent circle; that project that was delayed more than a decade.
Thursday
Streetsblog California posted a short video promoting the Alex Pretti memorial bike rides happening all over California (and beyond) this weekend. Find rides listed at this SBCA post.
