Overview 1.Measuring Road Efficiency 2.Mexico City Video 3.Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Discussion 4.Recommendations & Los Angeles Video 5.Conclusion

● “You manage what you measure” ● Three priorities: o Capacity o Safety o Inclusion Key Themes

Level of Service (LOS): ● Focus on congestion mitigation ● Auto-centric ● But is congestion such a bad thing? o Decreased severity and number of collisions o Rationing an over-utilized public good (Downs) o reflects social and economic vitality (Taylor) Source: clarkesvillesmartgrowth.com

What do cyclists and pedestrians like? Let’s travel to Mexico City to find out!

Pedestrian Infrastructure

What do Pedestrians want? ● Congestion! ● shorter crossing distances ● preponderance of shops ● proximity to transit, bikeshare, green space

Bicycle Infrastructure in Mexico City

Bicycle Infrastructure in Los Angeles

What do cyclists want? ● better infrastructure ● streets with less automobile traffic ● proximity to transit, bikeshare, green space

Los Angeles Bike Plan Implementation Miles of Bike Infrastructure Installed FY FY FY FY (to date) Total Sharrows Bike Lanes Bike Paths

Recommendations: ● Implement Protected Bike Lanes ● Follow incremental Bike-share model ● Re-allocate underutilized road space to pedestrians ● Have more public events Source: inhabitat.com Source: losangeleswalks.org Source: latimesblog.latimes.com

Conclusion ● City needs to measure what it manages ● Need to have a more balanced transportation system o Separate infrastructure when possible ● Optimism

Thank you! Dustin Foster, MPP*

Triangle: capacity, safety, inclusivity

Capacity people at 60 MPH (I-405)

Safety: bike and ped collisions -1,000 randomly selected collisions -also compare 5-10 streets based on capacity (lanes, speed limits)

Are Streets Places of Exclusion or Inclusion? Mode Share, Google maps screen shots

Bicycle Infrastructure Comparison: Bike Lanes implemented index ( ): ●M*S M= Miles of Bike Lanes Implemented in 5 years S= (% Reduction in Collisions) Mexico City: 30.6*(?) Los Angeles:
