Downtown's Spring Street bike lane is getting a southern spur--starting next weekend, LADOT will start installing lanes on Main Street between Ninth and Venice/Sixteenth St. Designs are also in the works to extend the land up north to Cesar Chavez. Meanwhile, LADOT will do some "green material testing" on the Spring Street lane next weekend, trying out six different materials to help avoid that streaky, splotchy look in the future.
