To the editor: If you wish to get a regulation modified or a undertaking funded by the federal government, look to the bicycle lobbyists (“L.A. says bike lanes on Pico Boulevard would enhance security. Retailers concern fallout,” July 16). They’ve completed greater than any particular curiosity group you’ll be able to title. On California roads which are already overloaded with automobile site visitors, we dedicate house and misspend hundreds of thousands of {dollars} so a minuscule variety of entitled individuals can extra simply trip their bikes. And now, our already inadequate parking spots on Pico Boulevard are in danger.
Who’re these few bicyclists we spend a lot cash on? My private remark is that almost all of them are serial site visitors violators, however our police forces don’t hassle to ticket most of them.

To the editor: As acknowledged on this article, the automobiles are going too quick and pedestrians are being harm and killed. The answer is to place velocity bumps on Pico to decelerate the site visitors. This solves all of the considerations of store house owners and neighborhood residents, because it nonetheless permits for parking to be maintained. Plus, bike lanes could be added so long as the velocity bumps don’t prolong into them.
