Los Angeles approves 20 year transportation plan

LOS ANGELES — Car-loving Los Angeles has approved a transportation plan that would add 300 miles of bicycle lanes to existing roads.

The City Council on Tuesday approved Mobility Plan 2035 — a sweeping overhaul of how Angelenos are expected to get around town in the next 20 years. It aims to increase the use of bikes, public transportation and even old-fashioned foot travel, reduce ******** ****** and wean motorists from jammed streets.

But opponents argue reducing the amount of roadway for autos would increase congestion and make it harder for ************ and ****** to answer calls.

A city Environmental Impact Report suggested the same problems but also said the plan would reduce the amount of car travel by 1.7 million miles a day.
