City to create peak-time bus lane on Wilshire

From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The City Council voted Wednesday to create a peak period bus lane on Wilshire Boulevard between downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica.
The $14-million project, which includes major street repairs, is not funded. Nor was a time frame set for implementing the plan.
City officials hope to reduce gridlock in the heavily traveled corridor by making bus ridership more appealing to solo drivers.
As part of the deal, the City Council will temporarily close the one-mile stretch of existing bus lanes between Barrington and Centinela avenues.
