RayRay Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Hunka Hunka Burning Love said: $200,000 loss of consortium compensation! I believe that's the going rate for 'consortium' in the area (La Jolla is very upscale). ...but I can't decide if this is good or bad for cycling. Municipalities have an obligation to maintain cycling paths and sidewalks, but instead focus their efforts on roads used by commuters (and their increasingly large autos). Suits like these highlight that there is a problem, but how cities deal with it may depend largely on weather the public views these cases as frivolous or emblematic of the need for driving alternatives. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esash Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Warner Bros. plans $100 mn cable car to Hollywood sign AFP 2 hours 50 minutes ago Reactions Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email Los Angeles (AFP) - Warner Bros. has announced plans for a $100 million cable car to take tourists from its studio lot to the iconic Hollywood sign, an area increasingly choked by tourist traffic. The company, one of Tinseltown's "Big Six" film distributors, told city officials on Monday it would put up the entire funding for the "Hollywood Skyway." The six-minute ride would extend more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) from Warner's base in Burbank up Mount Lee to a visitor center near the sign, with pathways to a viewing area, according to the Los Angeles Times. The iconic studio behind "Casablanca" and "Gone with the Wind" didn't respond to AFP's request for comment but circulated a statement saying the project would "reduce street congestion, improve safety, and ease neighborhood frustrations." "Given our close proximity to the north side of the Hollywood sign, we believe we offer a solution that has the least impact on the environment -- protecting and preserving (nearby) Griffith Park -- and the surrounding residential neighborhoods," the company added. The area is dotted with housing on all sides and the "aerial tramway" would spare homeowners the annoyance of hikers and traffic coming past their front doors, says Warner. Locals say ride-hailing services like Uber, combined with ever more sophisticated navigation apps, have made it much easier in recent years to get close to the sign in a car, exacerbating the problem. The idea has been floated for years but has always hit stumbling blocks. It was resurrected in 2017 by Mayor Eric Garcetti, with a proposal involving the nearby Universal Studios. The project is expected to take about five years to complete, including the approvals process, if it is approved. The landmark was erected in 1923 as "Hollywoodland" to advertise a local real estate development. It has undergone a number of transformations over the years, including in 1987, when pranksters changed it to "Holywood" to mark the visit of Pope John Paul II. Last year Los Angeles police arrested a local artist suspected of a New Year's Day prank in which he altered the letters to read "Hollyweed." https://www.yahoo.com/news/warner-bros-plans-100-mn-cable-car-hollywood-232514277.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There goes one of my favorite destinations. I have a feeling it won't get approved. I don't imagine many of the residents would like the idea of cable cars travellinh over their house. But if it does, I still probably have a few more years where I can ride to it unencumbered. Edited July 11, 2018 by Marty Backe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 The BIRD scooters just showed up in Raleigh. Hate to say it but this could easily become a big mess. Rode my bot to lunch downtown and more than a few people were behaving badly on them on sidewalks and in the street. One guy shouted at me 'where do i rent the one wheeled one?'. Coming back to office one was laying in middle of intersection unattended. oh no .... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
