The Week in Short Videos

Highways are a bad investment, LA falling behind on court-mandated sidewalk repair, nationwide confusion on e-bikes, and early Christmas for SF Muni.

Once again, we have a variety of videos from a variety of places this week. Let’s get to it.

Monday: Ren argues that while politicians are quick to attack transit and transit projects as “wasteful,” there’s actually a much lower return on investment from highway expansion.

Wednesday – In Los Angeles, the #TheWillitsSlide was a public performance that commemorated 10 years since LA committed to $1.4B over 30 years for sidewalk accessibility improvements. Progress has been uneven.

Thursday – Streetsblog California has reported a lot in recent years about the confusion created by the marketing of e-motorcycles as e-bikes and how that confusion has led to laws that don’t address real safety concerns. At Streetsblog USA, Ren lets us know this is a national phenomenon.

Friday – It’s already Christmas season for Muni! You might not be able to take a bike on their trains, but you can take a Christmas tree.
