I’m thrilled about the traffic plan on Ocean Park Boulevard (”One lane or another?” page 1, Jan. 15). I don’t drive, but I think this is a good step toward making the city more navigable for those of us who bike, walk and take the bus. (We do exist). More people will go to the shops if they can get there. Next up, they’ve got to replace the parking on Wilshire Boulevard with bus-only lanes.
The man who said, “We lose every day when you take away cars” must not know anybody who has asthma, who lives in a low-lying area, or who has lost someone close to them in a car crash.
