ELYSIAN VALLEY — New signs advising cyclists to slow down are being installed along the L.A. River path as officials prepare to ramp up efforts to reduce reckless riding and increase safety.
In addition to pedestrian crossing and “SLOW” signs, information about the laws that apply to cyclists as well as pedestrians will be distributed at several points along the path in coming weeks as LAPD prepares to increase enforcement, said Tony Arranga, spokesperson for Council District 13.
The new round of safety improvements comes in the wake of collisions between cyclists and pedestrians along the narrow path. Most recently, a woman identified by residents as “Ms. Yun,” a nlong-time Elysian Valley resident, was left in critical condition after being struck from behind by a cyclist on Oct. 8
