LB City Council Election 2020

The comprehensive table shows common city planning terms for traffic relief, some are specific for a multi-modal transition plan such as Complete Streets. Two incumbents and three LB residents are campaigning for a seat on the LB City Council, the table shows the frequency each mobility term is found in the candidate's platform paper.



As of 6 October only one candidate published a platform paper, candidate George Weiss published here.  So far no candidate provided a written commitment to address Complete Streets Policy or any component of mobility infrastructure, this election cars remain king.

CONCLUSION: Expect traffic/circulation/parking cannot improve for the next 4 years, car snobbery persists in Laguna Beach the 2020 election will not change that.
