LOS ANGELES COUNTY BICYCLE COALITION
There are many high-density urban areas in Los Angeles County with large numbers of transit -dependent residents and high rates of walking and bicycle usage, yet they tend to contain much fewer, if any, bicycle facilities.

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.
