Lisa,
Oh yes, La Brea & Rodeo is awful. And isn't there a red light camera over there? Just evil!

April,
I wish I could've co-signed her letter because seriously there are some dangerous roads up in Griffith Park. Not surprised he didn't reply to her. He probably wouldn't reply to me either. I send him tweets all the time and he never replies. He's probably sick of me complaining about the hellacious potholes on Beverly. I'm suing this city if I lose a wheel due to one.

Sylvia wrote him a letter a few years back about a certain area in Griffith Park that she felt could use a safety rail. He never wrote back. She hates him.

Oh my LARD. Let me piggyback on this to ask Tonio to do something about the intersection of La Brea and Rodeo. It has a left-turn signal, but because there is construction on La Brea between Rodeo and Jefferson (three lanes merge to two), there's always a blockage and cars get stuck into the intersection, so then you can't turn left even when there's a green arrow! Sometimes it takes me 10 minutes to get from Rodeo to Jefferson! That's one block, for heaven's sake! And I have to get to work!

P Font,
When I first moved to LA I was really surprised that there weren't more left turn signals. Notice how we're getting more red light cameras though. :(

Vizionheiry,
Ha! I sure should email it to them. So many people want the turn lights. I don't know why there isn't more of a demand for them.

Remnants,
It took me almost an hour and a half to get home from the westside and I kept thinking about people who spend hours in the car like that every day. It's unreal.

Florinda,
I say put the left turn lights together with the subway idea. But do the lights now because it'll be 20 years before we get a subway out to the ocean.

It's a sensible suggestion, and it would have to be less expensive than the Subway to the Sea and plenty of other more hare-brained traffic-control ideas.

If this came to pass, we'd make YOU the mayor :-)! (Easy for me to say. I work in LA, but don't live there, so I can't vote.)

When I saw the picture before this letter, I thought oooh beautiful sunset...Awful traffic.

You wrote the letter...It looks like a good one to me. LOL!

Please email this to the LA Times. The word needs to get out.

The yield on green signals would be awesome because then you don't get stuck if you don't make the initial left turn light. Wouldn't that be glorious?
