Urban PLanning & Public Health

Great quote from a short article published in MedicalXpress, from Dr. Richard Jackson, chair of Environmental Health Scineces at UCLA:

> "Los Angeles has the finest climate in the world, yet UCLA faculty, staff and students can't easily bike into campus," Jackson noted. "The most outrageous example of poor planning is CalTrans' and Metro's $1 billion-plus upgrade of the Wilshire Boulevard/405 underpass with no cycling capacity. Angelenos deserve protected bike routes connecting Santa Monica, Culver City and Hollywood to the UCLA campus."
