A contentious debate over removing street lanes and enhancing crosswalks to save lives is being decided by voters.
Bike lane near the spot where a bicyclist was struck during a hit-and-run along Springdale Street near Donlyn Drive and Heil Ave in Huntington Beach, pictured on Monday, September 11, 2023. Paramedics responded, but the adult cyclist died at the scene. Controversial Measure HLA in Los Angeles was headed to victory according to the first post-election day update, released shortly after 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday March 6.
Jay Beeber, executive director for policy for the National Motorists Association and executive director for Safer Streets L.A., said the measure sounded good but would lead to “a whole host of problems for the city.” The ballot measure, dubbed Healthy Streets LA, calls for significant changes to streets whenever the city makes routine street improvements such as paving, on a street that is at least 660 feet long.
Opponent Beeber said, “We should not be creating these types of complicated policies through the ballot box. And this is the kind of thing that should be negotiated in the open forum through the City Council and our elected officials where the public can weigh in individually and there’s analysis. … Legislating this in the ballot box is just bad policy.”
