City Attorney wrote a letter to BUR to cease planning the new Replacement Terminal pending completion of the City's legal challenge. The letter further states that if the Court rules against BUR, "the City will seek an order halting all activities aimed at implementing the Project." The Court's ruling will likely come down in a few months. Read theCity Attorney's Letter here. https://www.studiocityforquietskies.com/ https://www.uproarla.org/ https://airnoise.io/

Targeted Enforcement of Bus Only Lanes Begins on March 14
LADOT will begin targeted enforcement of bus only lanes across the City of Los Angeles starting Monday, March 14, 2022. Parking enforcement ensures that buses can utilize the bus lanes as designed in a safe and secure manner, while minimizing conflicts with parked or idling cars, delivery vehicles loading/unloading in the lanes, or other actions that might affect the safety of bus riders, pedestrians, and motorists, and/or impede the speed and reliability of our bus service.
As a reminder, it is illegal to park or stop in bus only lanes during posted times. Targeted enforcement from LADOT begins this week (Monday, March 14 through Friday, March 18), with LADOT issuing written warnings in the first week of their targeted enforcement. After that, all violators may receive a citation and may be towed in accordance with municipal code. We appreciate your continued support in helping to keep these lanes clear and all street users safe!
Tips for Safely Using the Bus Only Lanes
What is a bus only lane?
A bus only lane gives buses dedicated space to travel separately from vehicles. A separate lane allows buses to get riders to their destinations faster and more reliably.
Who is allowed to use the lanes?
Bus only lanes are for use by buses only during the stated hours of operation. Emergency vehicles, drivers making right turns and people on bicycles can use the bus only lane when needed.
Is parking and loading/unloading* allowed?
Do not park, load, unload or drop off/pick up passengers in the bus only lanes during the stated hours of operation. *Refer to signage for restrictions.
Can I make right turns?
Drivers are permitted to enter the bus only lanes to make legal right turns at intersections and driveways.
