I've always wondered if the bicycle detectors were in fact detecting my bicycle. This detection confirmation light is one of the many incremental improvements needed to improve the cycling experience. Nice work, @santamonicacity @AskGoSaMo

What worries me most about Prop 6? It includes a cynical provision that would make it virtually impossible to ever raise the gas tax. Before SB1 the gas tax was too small, very unstable, and forced the use of local sales taxes and crazy workarounds like the gas tax swap #NoProp6

We’ve identified these & others for protection - they’ve been on the radar w/hopes of acceleration w/VZ. With several great projects in the works we support adjusting staff capacity from what is viewed as low hanging fruit fo larger, needed safety implementations. #GoSaMo

Thanks, Santa Monica Next and LongBeachize. Folks, I have my lawyer helmet on and I'm ready for your bike law questions. Let's roll!

There is no rule limiting one from "mid-year resolutions", so I decided to share mine. I want to try running again, for my health. And I _hate_ running. But I value my life more.
I also confess my desire to make new friends who have kids the same age as mine.
Part self-care, part "mid year resolutions." @SirinyaMatute offers some ideas on how to live the best life in Santa Monica.
