At first I thought this was going to be a piece about Uncle Roger, but reality is funnier than anything he could ever put out.

SPOILER ALERT: It's mostly bad news.
"Metrolink is adding six roundtrips between Covina and Union Station and is adding cars on the San Bernardino line."
Well I'll be damned
It's Your Time to Shine, Metro and Metrolink
With the 10 in DTLA closed until further notice, now would be a great time for Metro and Metrolink to up their game. We all know that won't happen, but it would be a nice silver lining to this shit situation.
CicLAvia is This Sunday
Join CicLAvia on October 15 as we transform Chinatown, Little Tokyo, South Park, and Mariachi Plaza into a public park for the day.
Downtown, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Boyle Heights, and the 6th Street Viaduct. Should be fun.
That smart kid would be eating mystery tin surprise for dinner every night.
Advocates Urge Metro To Fix Botched Regional Connector Bike/Walk Facilities
Advocacy groups urge Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins and Metro Board Chair Mayor Karen Bass to "to move expediently to complete these required and promised pedestrian and bicycle improvements in the next three months"
Why is this news? Who cares about this?
It's 2023. Anything less than symmetrical gigabit is nonsense. We shouldn't have to settle for overpriced crumbs from ISPs.
Monorail would be truly disastrous for LA. I can't believe anyone is still seriously considering anything BYD has to offer.
This happens on the 4 fairly frequently. It's really frustrating.
Keep building more!
Modular affordable housing completed at 6th and San Pedro
Construction is complete for a new permanent supportive housing complex near the intersection of 6th and San Pedro Streets in Downtown Los Angeles, Suffolk announced earlier this month.
Oh no! Anyways...
Homeless living underground? Man seen climbing into utility vaults in Little Tokyo

Add Abbott Kinney, 1st St. in Little Tokyo, Broadway through DTLA, The Sunset Strip, and Hollywood Blvd to that list as well. I'm sure there are others, but those are the most obvious streets to close down to car traffic in my mind.
Dang. I was just there not too long ago. There was no sign that anything happened.
That's awesome! I made it from WeHo to Little Tokyo in under an hour yesterday after work. I'm so happy this is open.
Horrible news. You have to be a deranged piece of shit to attack a bus driver.
Los Angeles police detained a man after he was suspected of stabbing a bus driver in the back in Venice on Thursday afternoon.

Spain's Super Blocks in LA
Los Angeles officials are looking to implement the first Park Block, a car-free grid of city streets inspired by Barcelona’s Superblock program that will open up public space for pedestrians and cyclists.
I wonder if Spain's famous Super Blocks will translate to LA.
A feasibility study stated an in-house police department would be able to tailor its strategies and partnerships to matters that are unique to public transportation, such as fare evasion and disorderly conduct.

This was a long time coming! I checked out all the new stations today and they're really nice. The artwork is especially epic at the Bunker Hill station. Metro is also free this entire weekend. I highly recommend you check it out.
