The author seems to want to vent all of their traffic frustrations on Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl. Rosendahl has been in office for little over a year and has made real proposals to alleviate an intolerable traffic situation that he inherited. The number of people working in Santa Monica has grown dramatically and because of this growth, traffic going into Santa Monica in the morning and leaving Santa Monica in the evening is in gridlock. It seems to be the heaviest contributor to Westside traffic woes. A number of Rosendahl’s LA City Council District 11 constituents have stepped up to working with him to better understand what can be done, both short-term, as well as long-term, to help solve Westside traffic gridlock. I suggest that Miriam, as a Santa Monica resident, do the same with Santa Monica City Council members.
Right now, I see Bill Rosendahl as part of the solution, not the problem.
