Work was set to start yesterday on two new bike lanesDowntown--on northbound Olive Street and southbound Grand Avenue to "form a 1.5 mile bike lane couplet from Washington Blvd. to 7th Street." According to the LADOT Bike Blog, "The new lanes provide access to the 7th St./ Metro Center, Pico, and Grand Metro Rail stations. The lanes are also just a short jaunt away from LA Live." It's all part of the major bikeification of Downtown. [LADOT Bike Blog, image via]
