Bike Lanes vs. Funerals in LA | Los Angeles News
Description
A fierce battle rages in LA over Forest Lawn Drive — a one-mile stretch where bike safety and funeral traffic collide. Mayor Bass paused a controversial plan to add protected bike lanes, citing backlash from cemeteries and religious groups worried about traffic chaos during services. But Councilmember Raman blasts the move, calling the road dangerously lethal after recent crashes — including one last month — and insists bike lanes are non-negotiable. The mayor’s office counters that community concerns come first, promising a new design that balances safety and access without sacrificing either. With 95 crashes and 4 deaths since 2013, advocates say it’s time to act — while cemetery leaders plead for smooth passage for grieving families.
