We need YOU to flood the MVCC Transportation and Infrastructure Committee with emails supporting two *new* motions on the agenda for the meeting today, Wednesday, September 6th.
Go to Sample Email
These motions call for:
7b. Potential Reversal of Lane Reductions on Venice Blvd.
POLICY MOTION: Restoration of 3 car - lanes in each direction on Venice Blvd.
The Mar Vista Community Council asks that Councilmember Mike Bonin immediately reverse the lane reductions on Venice Blvd. and implement other strategies to improve the safety, efficiency, and accessibility of our roads for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. As representatives of your constituents and your elected advisory body, we believe strongly that this is the only remedy that addresses the constant, voluminous, community outcry on this issue.
7d. Advocacy/Laws for Potential Safety Measures for Bicyclists and Pedestrians
1) POLICY MOTION: Universal Helmet Laws and Night Lights for Bicyclists
2) POLICY MOTION: Distracted Pedestrians Crossing Streets and Highways
3) POLICY MOTION: Regional Safe Bike Routes Policy Motion

Dear MVCC Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Co-Chairs Michelle Krupkin and Ken Alpern,
I am a Venice Blvd stakeholder and I continue to support to the return of the third lanes on Venice Blvd. I support any motion that asks Councilmember Mike Bonin to immediately reverse the lane reductions on Venice Blvd. and implement other strategies to improve the safety, efficiency, and accessibility of our roads for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
I understand there are also motions on the Committee meeting agenda tonight that support:
- creating Regional Safe Bike Routes
- encouraging education on the issue of Distracted Pedestrians Crossing Streets and Highways
- urging the adoption of Universal Helmet Laws and Night Lights for Bicyclists.
Sincerely,
<insert your name here>

Councilman Mike Bonin
