SPOILER ALERT: It's mostly bad news.
"Metrolink is adding six roundtrips between Covina and Union Station and is adding cars on the San Bernardino line."
Well I'll be damned
With the 10 in DTLA closed until further notice, now would be a great time for Metro and Metrolink to up their game. We all know that won't happen, but it would be a nice silver lining to this shit situation.

It's 2023. Anything less than symmetrical gigabit is nonsense. We shouldn't have to settle for overpriced crumbs from ISPs.
Monorail would be truly disastrous for LA. I can't believe anyone is still seriously considering anything BYD has to offer.

This happens on the 4 fairly frequently. It's really frustrating.

Los Angeles officials are looking to implement the first Park Block, a car-free grid of city streets inspired by Barcelona’s Superblock program that will open up public space for pedestrians and cyclists.

I never realized how much I relied on /r/LosAngeles to find out what was going on in my city. I hope this can be the new home for that. Does anyone know if there are other active LA communities on other instances?
