A RISK TO GLENOAKS AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
LA Metro is planning a new bus route from North Hollywood to Pasadena that includes a dedicated bus lane on Glenoaks Boulevard between Alameda and Central. A dedicated lane is permanent—it removes a traffic lane entirely and is reserved only for buse
In Glendale, 92% of commuters drive to work, while only 3.9% use public transit.
A bus lane would:
Remove a car lane Increase traffic Take away parking spaces But the consequences go beyond traffic.
