LA’s $3.1 Billion Road Safety Bet: Boon or Bane?

City Council Requests Further Analysis of Street Safety Measure's Financial Impact on Municipal Budget

The City Council has instructed its staff to conduct a more comprehensive financial analysis of how a street safety measure on the March ballot would affect the city's budget and existing programs. The measure, called Healthy Streets LA, is a resident-led initiative that mandates the installation of street modifications outlined in the city's Mobility Plan 2035 whenever road improvements are made to at least one-eighth of a mile.
