In reviewing public comments for this transit project, I found that the LA County CEO's office actually thought that this was *not enough* parking and requested that Metro add a parking lot to the Gardendale Station, as well. And to find the funding to do so!

LA Metro is planning to build 2,800 parking spaces for a light rail line that it projects will get 30k daily riders and reduce regional VMT by just 0.02% at a cost of $7+ billion. So how did we get here? A 🧵

Glendale's anti-trans extremists lost their battle to overtake the school board, so now they've pivoted their efforts to opposing the bike plan. They are doxxing local bike advocates to their 20k ig followers and even insinuating that some of them are child predators.

@50megatonFbomb I had roughly the same jump in income in the same time period so I can say from personal experience that this is 100% due to lifestyle creep, not inflation.

The problem with telling cyclists to just take back streets is that CA cities have unanimously decided that new housing can only be built on major arterials. Those are not compatible policies.

@kamoshika17 @ChrisByBike Nice Twitter take. If you want to go somewhere I'm Glendale, it's probably possible to get there, safely, taking backstreets. One form of car brain is thinking you can only ride on streets you are used to driving on.

@nextdoorsv @raagagrawal A lot of E Line and A Line stations do not have a fare gate. You can just walk on the train.

@kyclasswarrior LA removed the red tape to build affordable housing and now private developers have applied to build over 20k affordable units in just 2 years. And by affordable, I mean the rent levels are set by HUD for people making less than the median income.

@maxdubler Notably, Measure ULA does not exempt even 100% Affordable housing developments if built by a private developer, but it does exempt *any* project or property owned by a non-profit developer.

A very interesting item was byleaved onto tomorrow's Planning Commission agenda and sent at 4 p.m. today, 17 hours before the meeting begins. Doesn't list the applicant on the cover sheet (!). It's for a surface parking lot at the former Greyhound bus terminal.

Glendale, CA — where the roads are wider than the freeway!
