Sadly, that’s exactly where bike lanes were installed in 2017 after a years-long community process, only to be removed following complaints from drivers used to zooming along the street.
It’s impossible to know whether this tragedy could have been prevented if the bike lanes were still there. But their removal will almost certainly mean Los Angeles will be liable for her death.
Somebody is gonna use this to claim ebikes are unsafe and thus every bike should have a license and registration attached along with a massive yearly fee (yes I know somebody who unironically said this because she refuses to admit cars could ever be the problem)
