Re “WeHo approves Fountain Avenue bike lanes,” Sept. 18 issue
Who would take an unprotected bike lane here with all the drivers being distracted and speeding … that’s suicide. We need dedicated protected lanes with concrete edging or K-rails to prevent bike-vehicle contact which would end up badly for the cyclist.
Drivers here in the L.A. area don’t care, like or think cyclists deserve to be on the road taking up valuable space that slows down their commute by seconds.

You say that dedicated bike lanes are necessary to protect the bicyclists. Well…Dedicated sidewalks are needed to protect pedestrians! And yet there is no such thing in West Hollywood or anywhere for that matter!
Pedestrians have to take their chances of being hit by illegal scooters riders, delivery robots or E bikes every time they traverse our sidewalks
Everyone seems to want protections and laws set up for drivers and for bicyclists.
But there are no protections and laws set up for pedestrians who are the most vulnerable of us all… especially pedestrians with disabilities and pedestrians, who are older?
What is being done to protect us? So far,absolutely nothing! And that is terribly unfair…and sad!
