Community voices oppose trailer-bill provision they say would delay Forest Lawn Avenue safety project

Several public commenters told the committee that a provision in the transportation trailer bill could impede a locally supported street‑safety project on Forest Lawn Avenue in Los Angeles. Mark Fucovich, representing Streets for All, described multiple crashes on the street and called the trailer provision an "11th hour" attempt to block a local safety project.

"This 11th hour bill's only purpose is to threaten a street safety project in Los Angeles...This project needs to go in, and this bill, SB 1 94, interrupts the ability to get this project in the ground," Mark Fucovich said. Other commenters — including representatives for Mount Sinai and Forest Lawn stakeholders — asked the Legislature to preserve a transparent public process and not to narrow public input on road changes near cemeteries.

Committee members acknowledged the concerns during closing remarks and thanked the public for showing up on a weekend to raise their issues; no formal action was taken during the informational hearing.
