The recent reconfiguration of Venice Blvd., which removed one lane in each direction in Mar Vista, is a well intentioned project poorly implemented. By utilizing a
modest potion of curb and parkway the Dept. of Transportation could have
maintained three lanes and accomplished their goal of moving the bike lane between the parked cars
and sidewalk to make bike riding safer. It should be reconfigured as soon as possible to remove
this choke-point on Venice Blvd.
