City of Los Angeles
Right to Turn Left
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined Councilmember Wendy Greuel and General Manager of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) Rita Robinson to announce the Right to Turn Left Initiative, a traffic relief and safety measure that will add 100 new left turn signal arrows at the most congested and bottlenecked intersections throughout the City. These 100 new left turn signals will improve the commutes of thousands of Angelenos every single day.
Mayor Launches Largest HIV Testing Drive in America
Kicking off a Citywide drive to encourage 1 million Angelenos to get tested for HIV/AIDS by 2011, Mayor Villaraigosa took a rapid swab HIV test at the launch of the Citys HIV Testing Initiative - the largest community-based HIV Testing drive in America. "If we are going to eliminate HIV in Los Angeles, we need to get past the stereotypes and stigma, and make HIV testing a part of routine healthcare for all Angelenos, Mayor Villaraigosa said. This initiative is about moving to make HIV testing in LA easy, accessible and free for all Angelenos.
Olympic West Pico East
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined Beverly Hills Mayor Jimmy Delshad and City Councilmembers Jack Weiss and Bill Rosendahl to unveil the Olympic-West Pico-East initiative, a new multi-phase proposal that will dramatically improve traffic and travel times along two of the Westsides most congested corridors. This is a new way, a smart way and a safe way to reduce traffic congestion, Mayor Villaraigosa said. We are going to prove that it works here at LAs gridlock epicenter, and then we are going to take this model citywide. Developed by Mayor Villaraigosa and the LA Department of Transportation (LADOT), Olympic-West Pico-East is a three-phase project that will speed up the flow of traffic and reduce congestion on Olympic and Pico Boulevards along the seven-mile stretch between La Brea Boulevard and Centinela Avenue.
Midterm Report 2005-2007: Delivering Results for Los Angeles
No city in America faces greater risks or rewards than Los Angeles. Over the last two years, my partners on the City Council and my entire team of staff, commissioners, and general managers have taken the attitude that our future as a great global city depends on our willingness to dream big and to confront our most daunting challenges. This is our chance to expand economic opportunity to every neighborhood and to unite Angelenos behind the idea that our similarities run deeper than our differences. It\nulls also a chance to create a different kind of government - one that is fiscally resonpsible and socially progressive, one that recognizes environmentally sustainable growth is not a luxury, but a necessity, and one that understands we can no longer afford to leave thousands of young people behind without a high school diploma . . .
