Throwback Thursday, Week 7: Cyclical concern
I didn’t understand how controversial a bike lane could be until I wrote about one. Almost a year ago, the current city editor at The Bruin asked me if I could write about Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Koretz’s opposition to a proposed bike lane on Westwood Boulevard.

Six weeks ago, I publicly complained about the trials of living in North Village when I threw it back to the conception of the Hill as we know it today. When Dykstra Hall debuted in 1959, UCLA reached the point of no return and committed to becoming a residential, rather than commuter, campus. Rieber, Sproul […]
