The City of Los Angeles has released its complete Bicycle Plan draft for public review and comments. The Bicycle Plan draft includes the bikeway maps released to the public in May, as well the plan text and appendices. They are posted on the LA Bike Plan website at http://www.labikeplan.org. Due to budget constraints, they cannot produce as many hard copies as needed. There will be sufficient hard copies however, for regional libraries and Department of City Planning offices.
