BREAKING NEWS: ANOTHER WIN FOR CYCLISTS!

January 11, 2009 at 3:13 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Due to LACBC’s and other bicycle advocates’ efforts, LAPD police chief William Bratton has issued a report recommending that the Bicycle License program be discontinued and an immediate moratorium be implemented on the enforcement of the program.

This is in response to the LA Transportation Committee requesting information from LAPD about the issue. LACBC and many bicycle advocates worked hard to bring this issue to the forefront of LA City Council. The LA Transportation Committee will meet at City Hall on Wednesday, January 14th, at 2pm to hopefully bring this issue to a final resolution. Cyclists are encouraged to attend.

“LACBC was very pleased to see the correspondence from LAPD today and we thank all the agencies and individuals involved in conducting the research that lead to this decision,” says Jennifer Klausner, Executive Director of LACBC.
