The process for developing LA's Draft Bike Plan demonstrates how insignificant cyclists are on the food chain. It is this way because we accept it. The Draft Bike Plan was presented to the Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee and I called on them to extend the comment period, to include words of imperative and to make it a meaningful vision document that will actually benefit cyclists, not just the consultants who churn this boilerplate shelf ready dust collecting fodder.
The citizen, and the public trust do not fit in the city of los angeles plans. (presuming city leaders have plans that are serving the needs of somebody not publicly revealed, cause they don't plan squat that I've seen). Plan us an interconnected regional trail and wildlife corridor City Leaders! Cyclists and pedestrians are disregarded, but Nature, and even endangered species, are (still) killed outright with oak tree murder permits readily available, no need for public comments thank you.
