Topics getting the most attention in West Hollywood public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
4 issues in roads with medium priority
Santa Monica Boulevard traffic signal optimization
Signals on the Boulevard are out of sync, and on-demand pedestrian crossings aren't connected to the traffic system. The Council wants a fix but not at the cost of pedestrian safety, so the item returns with the Vision Zero discussion this fall.
Sunset Strip pedestrian safety
Wendy Goldman urged the city to clear sidewalk obstructions — robots, scooters, bikes — before the Sunset Strip Music Festival and to use billboard revenue for safety improvements.
Class II Bicycle Lane Green-Paint Project
An update on the Design District Streetscape Master Plan amendment to add protected bike lanes connecting to Beverly Hills drew multiple supportive speakers, who urged clearer goals from the council.
Alfred Street Preferential Parking (District 9)
After 20 years of residents circling the block for parking near busy weekend businesses, the council introduced an ordinance adding preferential parking to the 1000 block of Alfred Street. Residents thanked the council for moving it forward.
