Urbanize.LA has the scoop on the first indications of plans in South L.A. to give more space in the road to bikers.
"The City of Los Angeles will install new bicycle lanes on four major boulevards in South L.A., according to a case filing with the Department of City Planning," reports Steven Sharp.
