The council’s request comes after a surge in bicycle traffic on Hollywood Boulevard, which has been attributed to the new lanes. The surge in traffic has led to concerns about safety and congestion. The council’s request for a report is a response to these concerns.

The motion claims that the current cleaning practices are not addressing the necessary standards of maintenance and cleanliness for protected bike lanes, which are essential for attracting cyclists and ensuring safety. It also suggests that the cleaning practices do not reflect the city’s commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. Additionally, the motion criticizes the current system for being ineffective and inefficient.

The plan also includes other measures such as pedestrian-friendly crosswalks, wider sidewalks, and improved lighting. The “Access to Hollywood” plan is a collaborative effort between the city, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. This partnership aims to address the safety concerns of pedestrians and cyclists in the Hollywood area.
