Healthy Streets LA, on the ballot as Measure HLA, mandates the city to implement its 2015 mobility plan – including pedestrian– and cyclist–oriented improvements to many major streets in the city – whenever a street is repaved. A report released by Chief Administrative Officer Matt Szabo in February 2024 indicated that the ballot measure would cost $3.1 billion to implement, which HLA supporters have called a politicized move. The ballot measure passed by a wide margin.[31]
