This Tuesday at 7pm the Bicycle Advisory Committee is meeting and high level reps from the LAPD will be there to discuss Hit and Run issues as well as other things. Come out and let your voice be heard!
Apparently the meeting is being held in Hollywood instead of Downtown:
From Glenn Bailey:
To Los Angeles City Bicycle Advisory Committee members and other interested persons:
Due to the permanent closure of the BAC's previous meeting facility at LAPD's Parker Center, please note that the next BAC meeting scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 2, 2010 will instead be held at:
Hollywood Neighborhood City Hall Community Room
6501 Fountain Avenue
Los Angeles 90028
Location on Mapquest: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Los+Angeles&state=CA&address=6501+Fountain+Ave
Three bicycle parking racks are in front of the building on Fountain; there is also wrought iron fencing in the rear that can be used to lock up bicycles.
Metro Red Line stations are located at Hollywood and Vine (closest) and Hollywood and Highland, both just a short bicycle ride away.
There is also a motor vehicle parking lot directly behind the building (to the north). Carpooling is encouraged.
The meeting agenda will be emailed to you shortly.
Hope to see you on Tuesday.....in Hollywood.
Thank you.

Braydon,
The Metro is a different beast, they are the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Countywide. The Metro Board meets a couple of times a month if you want to bring up issues related to bikes on rail or buses.
The Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee is made up of volunteers appointed by the 15 City of LA Councilmembers and the Mayor. They advise the Council & Mayor on things bike-related in the City of Los Angeles. (including DASH and Commuter Express but not the Metro)
Commander Doan of the LAPD will be there this Tuesday which is good time to address LAPD related issues from hit and run enforcement and prosecution to stole bikes to tickets to supporting cyclists to taking reports to...
Tuesday @ 7pm. See you there!
