March 5th Election! Be An Informed VOTER!
Voting has started! It’s important we are informed on the issues and who we are voting for! The people we send to LA City , County, Sacramento, and Washington DC will make decisions that will impact our lives for decades to come. Here’s what is on the March 5th Ballot!
1). 30th Congressional District Congressperson 2) State Assemblymember 51st District 3) LA County District Attorney Two very important initiatives: Measure HLA and Proposition 1.
Measure HLA would convert Mobility Plan 2035, an aspirational planning document adopted by the City Council in 2015, into a mandate that requires the city to add bike lanes and traffic-slowing “road diets” to city streets whenever - at least 1/8 of a mile is repaved. The Mobility Plan 2035 was intended to improve all forms of mobility in LA, but HLA deals primarily with bike mobility. It allows any City resident to file a lawsuit against the City for noncompliance. Matt Szabo, the city’s top budget analyst, warns the measure could cost more than $3.1 billion over the next 10 years. Szabo also states that projects required under Measure HLA would reduce the number of streets that are repaved or improved each year.
The HLA initiative was written by Michael Schneider, bike advocate founder of Streets For All ; https://www.streetsforall.org/initiatives Schneider says adding bike lanes and road diets make streets safer and would force city agencies to complete a list of projects. It would allow any City resident to file a lawsuit against the City for noncompliance.

Proposition 1would change California’s 20 year old Mental Health Services Act and includes
funding to build more than 10,000 new treatment beds. Many unhoused people on
our streets have mental health problems, and Proposition 1 proposes an approach of more
funding and uniformity of services in order to help solve this problem. It would
mark a major change in the state’s approach to homelessness and mental health and it’s
critically important that voters inform themselves and vote.
