MCWCC Transportation, Parking and Streetscape Committee

The Transportation, Parking and Streetscape Committee is an advocate for our neighborhood and our stakeholders on transportation issues with the City of Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). These issues include traffic congestion; parking programs for businesses and residents; improving alternative modes, including transit, bicycling, and walking; and senior transportation programs. We also address issues regarding our streetscape, including billboards, sidewalks, street furniture, graffiti and beautification projects.

Metro is currently evaluating proposed routes and station locations for a Westside subway extension. Mid City West strongly supports the subway. More information about Metro’s planning process can be found at http://www.metro.net/projects_studies/westside/default.htm
On March 1st, 2011, the Los Angeles City Council approved the 2010 Bike Plan which, for the Mid City West area, includes most of the recommendations of the Mid City West Community Council. See below for a map of the Bike Plan in Mid City West.

The Transportation, Parking and Streetscape Committee normally meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. NCJW 543 N. Fairfax Avenue, LA, CA 90036 Room 101.

Mid City West: 2010 Bike Plan Map

View the Mid City West: 2010 Bike Plan Map in a separate Google map with a full key of symbols.

This map shows the bikeways listed in the 2011 Los Angeles Bicycle Plan that are located in or near the Mid City West Community Council area.

The map shows bike lanes (blue), bike routes (orange/yellow), and Bicycle Friendly Streets (pink).

The map also shows problem intersections along these bikeways (indicated with the symbol at left), most because of a lack of traffic control devices to protect bicyclists using the street.

And the map includes neighborhood destinations, including Metro Red and Purple Line stops, shopping centers, schools, parks, museums, hospitals, and bike shops.
