    Ideally this would tied to additional enforcement regarding infractions that potentially create hazardous conditions for pedestrians. Narrowing defining 'low-level' as non-safety related infractions is good, but given our recent relationship with the LASD, I worry that this will lead to a work slow down on safety related enforcement.

    I strongly support the City of West Hollywood, along with the City of Los Angeles, hosting a CicLAvia event to temporarily close Santa Monica Boulevard to vehicle traffic and open it for bicycling, walking, skating, and other forms of active transportation. The 2019 "Meet the Hollywoods" event drew participants from across L.A. County and was very well received by the community, including many businesses. It would be exciting to see that enthusiasm for active transportation repeated in 2022.
