Over the past three months, the City of Los Angeles has presented three implementation options for bikeway infrastructure of TERA’s Rock The Boulevard project on Eagle Rock Boulevard. TERA prefers Option 2 as the concept that best works towards Rock The Boulevard’s goals of a safer, greener, and more pedestrian-friendly Eagle Rock Boulevard. Option 2 is the option that not only provides the safest and most comfortable space for pedestrians, but also preserves the most on-street parking and most well distributed on-street parking to provide access to our existing local businesses.
TERA further encourages Streets LA to study the community generated “Walkable Boulevard” concept, which would fine-tune Option 2 to allocate portions of unusable median space towards expanded sidewalks, space for new sidewalk trees, and space for Al Fresco dining for local businesses.

On November 15 th 2017, The Eagle Rock Association (TERA) sent a letter to Council District 14 requesting the City address known and on-going traffic safety issues on Yosemite Drive. That letter was prompted by a horrific car crash one month prior that sent a student to the hospital. It is now seven months since that letter and no indication the City will do anything to substantially improve conditions along the corridor for the thousands of residents and students that interact with the street every day. The fundamental issue on Yosemite – a street design that favors car speeds over pedestrian safety – remains unchanged. As the one year anniversary of the aforementioned crash approaches, TERA urges immediate action so that students and residents alike need not fear being struck during the simple act of crossing the street or exiting one’s driveway.
