@jessezwick I am never not shocked by the inanity of the discourse in Santa Monica. Wood is such an excellent and sustainable building material and I appreciate you advocating it's use.

24k impressions and apparently no one in this mouth breathing bunch who’s heard of CLT/ Mass Timber.
Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD@houmanhemmati
Also from tonight’s @santamonicacity Council meeting: the brilliant councilman & climate justice warrior @jessezwick, just before voting to mandate “low carbon concrete”, proposing we stop using concrete & steel in favor of “mass timber” AKA “wood”. You know, chopping down trees. Councilman Zwick: trees are nature’s proven carbon capture system. They literally take carbon dioxide out of the air and release oxygen you can breathe. While also being beautiful. You’re literally advocating for deforestation in the name of helping the climate. Let that sink in. Would you also like to tip out forests to put in solar panels & carbon capture systems?

We asked students across LA how they would redesign their schools’ outdoor spaces, and the answers were clear: kids want more trees, more plants, and more shade. No child dreams of playing on asphalt.

I would love to see these on my routes

Had to come see it for myself. The photos are bad, but yes, this is a *new* bus shelter at Olympic/Western.

It's amazing that all the City had to do was concede the land and allow it to be built and then outside entities are willing invest $1M/unit to develop affordable housing.

Painted pavement is still pavement. I'm not fooled by those renderings of a utopian streetscapes achieved through paint. The best streets have minimal street.

We released our vision for Venice Blvd in 2019 with veniceblvdforall.com
Last year, nearly 4 miles went in between National and Inglewood.
This project would get it another 4 miles east and closer to DTLA!
Our plan to get it through DTLA:

Streets For All@streetsforall
We’re so excited that the City has applied for a $20M grant to make Venice Blvd a complete street between National and Arlington! 👏 @CW_HeatherHutt - Bus boarding islands - Concrete protected bike lanes - Bike signals - Curb ramps We’ll know in October if the City wins.

This sign is a reminder that for the most part LA is a long way from taking meaningful actions to address traffic violence.
LADOT@LADOTofficial
Yesterday we joined @CD5LosAngeles in unveiling a memorial sign at Olympic and Overland to honor Monique Muñoz, whose life was taken too soon by an act of speeding on our streets. This sign serves as a reminder to drivers to slow down and practice safe driving behavior.
