The non-profit street-safety organization, Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE), is demanding that the City of Los Angeles and specifically the Department of Recs and Parks return Griffith Park to the community - making it safe for the people who use it the most, not the speeding cars who use it as a cut-through. Please phase out private cars traveling through Griffith Park (excluding Park Rangers and public shuttles).

Now that the year is coming to a close, we want to highlight two volunteers who consistently go above and beyond what they are asked to do. Please meet Karl Eggers and Pastor Patricia Strong-Fargas. Both of them are champion volunteers that are ready to go at any time and are always looking for ways of improving their communities.

In 49 other states, drivers have the option to use driving behavior (or "telematics") to determine their monthly premium. By using a mobile app, "dongle", or other technology, drivers can choose to enroll in a program that measures their vehicle speed, distracted driving, and other on-the-road factors. The result?

There will always be reckless men and women causing car crashes, but when we design our streets prioritizing safety; crashes don't need to kill people.

I genuinely don't know what to say or how even to process the numbers I'm seeing. It defies logic, yet when I talk to people in South LA, they tell me how they witnessed firsthand a surge in traffic violence and its consequences.

In addition to SAFE's sponsorship of SB 735, Speed Safety Cameras in School Zones, there are several bills on the table this legislative session that we support.
