Metro considering expanding night service on Gold Line (San Gabriel Valley Tribune)

No details yet — Metro is working on a plan. But the recently-passed budget includes money to add service to the Gold, Blue and Expo Lines, as well as increase some bus service.

Bicycle accommodations at the new Grand Park (LADOT Bike Blog)

The new 12-acre park in the heart of the Civic Center in downtown L.A. will have 12 bike racks that can handle three bikes apiece for a total of 36 bike parking spots, reports Bike Blog. The park will also be very easy to reach via the city of Los Angeles’ growing network of downtown bike lanes — see this CurbedLA post on the new Los Angeles Street bike lanes from Union Station — as well as the Red/Purple Line Civic Center station.

Want to increase biking? Sharrows won’t cut it (Streetsblog)

A new L.A. County Bike Coalition study finds that sharrows are not a persuasive way of getting people to bike. Why? Because, well, they don’t do anything to relieve the stress of riding in traffic. Or, as I like to say, sharrows are usually a great way to make it look like a city is doing something when they’re doing nothing. More bike lanes, please.
