Los Angeles Mayor-elect Nithya Raman is preparing to put bike lanes in the fast lane, potentially taking space away from cars on some of the city’s busiest roads as her powerful political backers push for a multibillion-dollar transportation overhaul. The incoming mayor has said she wants more protected bicycle lanes, bus-only corridors and redesigned streets — changes that could reignite bitter battles over traffic, parking, small businesses and emergency response times. Michael Schneider, founder of the influential transportation advocacy group Streets for All, told the California Post he expects Raman to aggressively enforce Measure HLA, the controversial voter-approved law requiring Los Angeles to install planned bike lanes, bus lanes and pedestrian improvements when undertaking major road repairs.
