Demonstrates expert understanding of safer streets for all transportation modes.

Background in environmental and housing law. Committed to transit network, safe street infrastructure, and housing.

Endorsed Measure HLA. Started process for county version of HLA. Led safety changes on PCH.

Former County and State attorney. Committed to fiscal responsibility and using city legal powers to force Metro compliance.

Strong supporter of bike lanes, bus shelters, transit efficiency. One of the first candidates endorsed by Streets for All before being elected.

In her questionnaire, Barri Worth Girvan shows a strong commitment to building a more livable CD3. This part of the Valley has many wide streets and dangerous roads, but with a strong backbone of bike paths and dense destination centers like Warner Center there is lots of potential for a cohesive, comfortable, safe urban environment. Barri will help build bike lanes, slow speeding, and accelerate transit projects like the Sepulveda Transit Corridor. Learn more here. (https://www.barriforthevalley.com)

For the last year, there has been a large effort to reform LA’s Charter, which is the guiding document for the City. Streets for All weighed (https://charter.streetsforall.org) in with a handful of proposals to improve project delivery for safe street infrastructure.

Although not everything we advocated for was included, Measure LA and Measure PRK are both strong steps towards building a more resilient City with people first streets and parks.

Measure LA will reform Public Works delivery in LA. In LA, our streets are falling apart, and we have multiple bureaus and board members in a strange inefficient web of oversight. Measure LA formalizes a CIP process (Capital Improvement Plan) to put all infrastructure projects in the same pipeline, and it puts a single director in charge of the Department of Public Works instead of the current fragmented governance. This will massively help with transparency, efficiency, and accountability.

Measure PRK will double the minimum amount allocated to LA parks annually. LA has significantly underfunded parks over the last few decades, and it means we have one of the worst park scores in the nation. Measure PRK will address this long term funding gap.

California voters should reject Proposition 43.

Prop 43 would make it substantially harder for citizens to fund the transportation projects and services their communities need. It would change the threshold for citizen-initiated local special tax measures from a simple majority to two-thirds. That is unacceptable.

Across California, voters have used citizen initiatives to fund transit when elected officials have been unwilling or unable to act. Measures like Connect Bay Area, current transit measures in San Francisco and Fresno, and the recently approved Sonoma-Marin transit measure are examples of communities taking transportation funding directly to voters.

Under Prop 43, these measures would face a 66.67% supermajority requirement instead of 50% + 1. That would give a minority of voters the power to block locally supported investments in transit and other essential services. Communities should be able to decide how to fund the transportation systems they need. If a majority of voters support a locally proposed transit tax, a minority should not be able to veto it.

California already has significant voter protections around local taxes. We should not make it even harder for communities to invest in transit, safer streets, and other public services. Local voters should have the power to decide how to fund their communities.

No on Proposition 43

California absolutely needs CEQA reform. It should be easier to build housing, clean energy, transit, and bike infrastructure. But that's not what Proposition 45 does.

Instead, Prop 45 gives highway expansions a faster environmental review process by limiting alternatives, shortening timelines, and making lawsuits harder. Meanwhile, many of the transportation projects we actually need, including High Speed Rail, train stations, and many bike and pedestrian projects, don't receive the same benefit because they aren't covered by the measure's narrow transportation language.

So the projects that increase driving get streamlined...

...while many projects that reduce driving don't.

Streets For All supports reforming CEQA to make good projects easier to build while maintaining meaningful environmental review for projects that expand highways and increase driving and emissions. We’ve sponsored bills aimed at tackling CEQA for those good projects, like electric rail and pedestrian malls. But we want to make sure it stays in place for the bad projects.

That's why we oppose Proposition 45.
