The past six months on the job as LADOT's General Manager have put
Seleta Reynolds in the spotlight for her vision of transportation in Los
Angeles. Fresh from San Francisco, her advocacy of livable streets that balance
the need for mobility and the needs of businesses and residents for walkable
neighborhoods has rejuvenated the dialogue on LA's perennial traffic
congestion, parking, pedestrian and cycling concerns. Her data-driven approach
to transportation connects streetscape projects to positive impacts on the
economic performance of adjacent businesses, and she enthusiastically supports great
streets that encourage people to linger in public spaces. Come hear the new GM
discuss everything from the ambitious My Figueroa complete streets project to
LADOT's new Strategic Plan to traffic safety and funding for LADOT. Renowned
UCLA Professor Brian Taylor, who is Professor of the university's Urban
Planning Department and Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies and
Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, will conduct a lively interview with
LA's czarina of traffic issues and solutions.
