Ngoku sifikelele kwezinye zeenyani ezihlala zixelwa gwenxa, makhe sijonge indlela iprototype visor efakwe kwiindawo zokumisa iibhasi ezine eLos Angeles kwiveki ephelileyo ilawule amajelo oluntu njengolu vavanyo lwe-inkblot lwezopolitiko lweRorschach.ibali elinika umdla ngakumbi malunga nendlela esinokwenza ngayo ukuba izithuthi zikawonke-wonke zilungele abantu basetyhini.
Impikiswano yaqhambuka kwiveki ephelileyo xa amagosa eSebe lezoThutho eLos Angeles ebebambe inkomfa yabezindaba kunye nelungu leBhunga lesiXeko saseLos Angeles u-Youniss Hernandez ukuze abhengeze ukuthunyelwa komfuziselo omtsha wokwenza umbala kunye nenkqubo yokukhanyisa kwindawo yokumisa iibhasi eWest Lake.Kwiifoto, uyilo alubonakali lunomtsalane kakhulu: isiqwenga se-skateboardigqojoziweintsimbi ijinga kwikhawuntara kwaye ibonakala ngathi inokuphosa isithunzi kubantu ababini okanye abathathu ubuninzi.Ebusuku, izibane zelanga zenzelwe ukukhanyisa iindlela zokuhamba.
Kwisixeko apho ukungabikho komthunzi ojikeleze iindawo zokumisa iibhasi kuyingxaki enkulu (eyongeziweyo kukutshintsha kwemozulu), iLa Sombrita, njengoko abaqulunqi beyibiza, ibe yihlaya.Ndiyavuma ukuba le yayiyimpendulo yam yokuqala.Ifoto yenkomfa yenkomfa, apho iqela lamagosa lijonge kwi-pole ezukileyo, ngokukhawuleza yaba yi-meme kwi-Twitter.
Amawaka ezikhululo zikaloliwe ezingaphantsi komhlaba azinamakhava okanye nezihlalo.Kodwa isindululo sokuvula iindawo ezintsha zokuhlala eLos Angeles ngentengiso yedijithali siphakamise imibuzo.
Okona kubi ngakumbi yiPR.Isilumkiso semithombo yeendaba ngokuphefumlela phezulu sabhengeza "uyilo lokuqala lwebhasi yokumisa i-shading" kwaye yabonisa njengenxalenye yomzamo wokukhuthaza ukulingana ngokwesini kwizithuthi zikawonke-wonke.Ukuba ulandela eli bali kuTwitter, unoluvo oluncinci kakhulu lweyona nto incinciintsimbientongeni kuya kunceda abafazi.Kwaba ngathi ukunikezela kwimikhwa ka-Angeleno yokubambisa eyayibekwe kwizikhululo zeebhasi ezingenakubalwa: sazimela emva kweepali zemfonomfono saza sathandazela ukuba bangaphephetheki entloko.
Iiyure emva kwenkomfa yabezindaba, abakhi-mkhanyo kulo lonke ilizwe lezopolitiko babona iLa Sombrita njengophawu lokuba yonke into ibingahambi kakuhle esixekweni.Ekhohlo ngurhulumente ongakhathaliyo owenza okungaphantsi kobuncinane obunqabileyo kubemi bakhe.Ekunene bubungqina bokuba isixeko esiluhlaza sikwimithetho-isimumu iLos Angeles ayinakusinika sona.“Usilela njani kwiziseko zophuhliso,” uphakamisa isithuba seCato Institute.
Kwakhona, ngenxa yesiqingatha seenyaniso ezininzi ezijikelezayo, iLa Sombrita ayisosikhululo sebhasi.Ayenzelwanga ukuba ithathe indawo yezikhululo zebhasi.Ngapha koko, i-LADOT ayisiyo-arhente yesixeko ephethe izikhululo zeebhasi.Le yi-StreetsLA, ekwaziwa njenge-Arhente yeeNkonzo zeSitrato, neyinxalenye yeSebe leMisebenzi yoLuntu.
Endaweni yoko, iLa Sombrita ikhule kuphononongo olunomdla lwe-LADOT luka-2021 olubizwa ngokuba “Iindlela eziTshintshayo” ezijonge ukuba izithuthi zikawonke-wonke zinokulingana njani ngakumbi kwabasetyhini.
Iinkqubo ezininzi zezothutho ezisezidolophini zenzelwe abakhweli ukusuka kwi-9 ukuya kwi-5, ngokuphindaphindiweyo amadoda.Izibonelelo zezothutho ezifana neendawo zokumisa iingalo kunye nokuphakama kwesihlalo ziyilwe malunga nomzimba oyindoda.Kodwa kumashumi eminyaka, indlela yokuqhuba itshintshile.Kwimetro esebenza eLos Angeles County, abasetyhini bebesenza uninzi lwabaqhubi beebhasi ngaphambi kobhubhane, ngokovavanyo lweMetro olukhutshwe kulo nyaka uphelileyo.Ngoku benza isiqingatha sabemi abasebenzisa iibhasi.
Noko ke, ezi nkqubo azizange ziyilwe kucingwa ngeemfuno zazo.Iindlela zinokuba luncedo ekufumaneni abahambi ukuya nokubuya emsebenzini, kodwa kungasebenzi kakhulu ekufumaneni abakhathaleli ukusuka esikolweni ukuya kuqheliselo lwebhola ekhatywayo, kwivenkile enkulu, nakwikhaya ngexesha elifanelekileyo.Bekukho ingxaki eyongezelelweyo ngokufaka umntwana kwistroller ukuze aqhubele phambili kwinkqubo.(Ndimema bonke ababhali be-tweeters abacaphukela isini ukuba bakhwele ibhasi bejikeleza LA berhuqa usana, umntwana osakhasayo, kunye neengxowa ezimbini zegrosari. Okanye ezantsi kwiiboulevards ezingenabantu ebusuku kungekho zibane zisebenzayo.)
Uphononongo luka-2021 linyathelo lokuqala lokujonga nzulu lo mba.Yagunyaziswa yi-LA DOT kwaye ikhokelwa yiKounquy Design Initiative (KDI), uyilo olungenzi nzuzo kunye nombutho wophuhliso loluntu.(Bakhe basebenza ngaphambili kwiiprojekthi eLos Angeles, kubandakanya “Izitalato zokudlala” ze-LA DOT, ezivala okwethutyana izitalato zedolophu kwaye ziziguqule zibe yindawo yokudlala yethutyana.)
"Ukutshintsha kweeLanes" kugxininise kubagibeli basetyhini abavela kwiidolophu ezintathu-i-Watts, i-Soter, kunye ne-Sun Valley-abameleli nje kuphela iindawo ezahlukahlukeneyo zedolophu, kodwa kunye neepesenti eziphezulu zabasetyhini abasebenzayo ngaphandle kwemoto.Kwinqanaba loyilo, le ngxelo iqukumbela ngelithi: “Ayipheleli nje ekusileleni iinkqubo zokuhlalisa amabhinqa ngokufanelekileyo, kodwa iziseko ezisetyenziswa kwezi nkqubo zibeka phambili amava amadoda.”
Izindululo ziquka ukuqokelela idatha engcono, ukuphucula iindlela zokuhamba zokuzonwabisa, ukuphinda ubonise iindlela zokuhamba zabasetyhini, kunye nokuphucula uyilo kunye nokhuseleko.
Ingxelo sele yenze utshintsho oluncinci kwinkqubo: Ngo-2021, i-LADOT iqalise uvavanyo lokupaka olufunekayo kwiindlela ezine zenkqubo yokuthutha ye-DASH ukusuka kwi-18: 00 ukuya kwi-07: 00 ixesha lecandelo.
I-KDI ngoku iphuhlisa isicwangciso sokusebenza esibizwa ngokuba yi-“Next Stop” esiza kunceda ukuphumeza ezinye iingcebiso ezibanzi zomgaqo-nkqubo kuphononongo lokuqala."Le yimephu yendlela yezenzo ezinokuthi i-DOT ithathe kwimizila yayo ye-54 ukwenza iziseko zothutho zibandakanye ngakumbi ngokwesini," utshilo u-Chelyna Odbert, umseki kunye ne-CEO ye-KDI.
Isicwangciso sokusebenza, ekulindeleke ukuba siqukunjelwe ekupheleni konyaka, siya kunika isikhokelo malunga nokufunwa kwabasebenzi, ukuqokelelwa kwedatha kunye namaxabiso okukhwela.Abasetyhini bathanda ukwenza utshintshiselwano oluninzi, okuthetha ukuba banomthwalo ongalinganiyo wezezimali xa singenalo ukhutshelo lwasimahla phakathi kweenkqubo,” utshilo u-Odbert.
Iqela likwahlola iindlela zokulungelelanisa inkqubo, efuna ukubandakanyeka kwee-arhente ezininzi zedolophu.Umzekelo, ukufakelwa kweendawo zokumisa iibhasi bekusoloko kuthintelwa yi-bureaucratic tape kunye neminqweno yamasekela ebhunga lesixeko.
Ukuxhasa isicwangciso sokusebenza, i-ODI kunye ne-LADOT kwakhona zenze amaqela amabini asebenzayo: elinye livela kubahlali besixeko kwaye elinye livela kubameli bamasebe ahlukeneyo.U-Odbert uthe bajonge iindlela zokuxhasa umgaqo-nkqubo wexesha elide kunye nezisombululo zeziseko ezingundoqo ezincinci.Ngoko bagqiba ekubeni bacombulule ingxaki ephindaphindiweyo xa bethetha nabasetyhini ngexesha lesifundo sokuqala: izithunzi kunye nokukhanya.
I-KDI iphuhlise iikhonsepthi ezininzi eziquka i-awnings ethe nkqo kububanzi obahlukeneyo, ezinye i-swivel kwaye ezinye zinezihlalo.Nangona kunjalo, njengesiqalo, kwagqitywa ekubeni kuveliswe imodeli yeprototype enokufakwa kwisibonda se-LADOT kwimizuzu embalwa, ngaphandle kokufuna iimvume ezongezelelweyo kunye nezixhobo.Ngaloo ndlela uLa Sombrita wazalwa.
Ukucaca, ukuyila kunye neprototyping yaxhaswa ngemali nguRobert Wood Johnson Foundation, akukho mali yedolophu yayisetyenziselwa ukudala umthunzi.Iprototype nganye ixabisa malunga ne-10,000 yeedola kubandakanywa uyilo, izixhobo kunye nobunjineli, kodwa ingcamango kukuba ukuba iveliswe ngobuninzi, iindleko ziya kuhla ukuya kwi-2,000 yeedola ngombala, utshilo u-Odbert.
Enye ingcaciso: njengoko kuchazwe ngokubanzi, abaqulunqi abazange bachithe amakhulu amawaka eedola ukuya kwezinye izixeko ukuze bafunde izakhiwo ze-shading.Inento yokwenza nokuhamba, utshilo u-Odbert, kodwa uphando ngendlela ii-arhente zokuhamba kwamanye amazwe zibonelela abakhweli ababhinqileyo kumanqanaba okuqala.“Isithunzi,” watsho, “yayingeyiyo eyona njongo yeprojekthi ngelo xesha.
Ukongeza, iLa Sombrita ngumzekelo.Ngokusekwe kwingxelo, inokuhlaziywa okanye ilahlwe, enye iprototype inokuvela.
Nangona kunjalo, iLa Sombrita inelishwa lokufika elona xesha linxunguphalisayo kubakhweli bebhasi ye-LA abaye basokola iminyaka - kwingxelo epapashwe ekwindla lokugqibela, umlingane wam uRachel Uranga uchaze indlela imodeli yentengiso inikezele ngayo kuphela i-660 ngaphandle kwe-2,185 yeendawo zokuhlala ezithenjisiweyo. Ixesha leminyaka engama-20.Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka, kunyaka ophelileyo ibhodi yagqiba ekubeni isayine enye ikhontrakthi yentengiso kunye nomnye umnikezeli.
Intatheli equlethwe ngu-Alyssa Walker yaphawula kwi-Twitter ukuba ingqumbo yangoku malunga neLa Sombrita ibhekiswa ngokufanelekileyo kwikhontrakthi yokumisa ibhasi.
Ngapha koko, oohola bendlela abadli ngokunyanzelwa ukuba bahlale emanzini ngale ndlela.Njengoko uJessica Meaney, umlawuli weqela elixhasa ukushukumiseka kwi-Investing in Place, uxelele i-LAist kunyaka ophelileyo, “Inyaniso yokuba singatyali mali kuphuculo lwendawo yokumisa iibhasi, ngaphandle kokuba inxulumene nentengiso, yi-anachronism.Ngeliphandle, sisimo esohlwayayo kwiibhasi”.abakhweli abajongana nenkonzo yebhasi engabonanga mpucuko ingako kwiminyaka engama-30.”
Ngokutsho kwengxelo epapashwe ngu-dot.LA ngo-Matshi, ukuqaliswa kwendawo entsha yokukhusela, eyilwe nguTransito-Vector, ilibazisekile ukusuka kweli hlobo kude kube sekupheleni.(Isithethi seDPW asikwazanga ukunika uhlaziyo lweli bali kwangexesha.)
Isithethi seLADOT saphawula ukuba iLa Sombrita “ayithathi indawo yotyalo-mali olubalulekileyo esilufuna ngakumbi, olufana neendawo zokumisa iibhasi nezibane zezitrato.Olu lwahluko lokulinga luhloselwe ukuvavanya ukudalwa kwesithunzi esincinci kunye nokukhanya apho ezinye izisombululo zingenakuphunyezwa ngokukhawuleza.Iindlela.
Isidibanisi sengingqi savulwa kumbindi wedolophu yaseLos Angeles ngoJuni 16, sisusa utshintshiselwano oludibanisa iLong Beach kunye neAzusa, eMpuma Los Angeles, kunye neSanta Monica.
Xa kuziwa kwizigqibo zokuyila, izithunzi zingcono kunanto.Ndatyelela i-East LA prototype ngoMvulo kwaye ndafumanisa ukuba incede ukukhusela umzimba ophezulu ukusuka kwilanga langokuhlwa, nangona kwakuvunywa kuphela i-71 degrees.Kodwa bekufuneka ndikhethe phakathi kwesithunzi nesitulo kuba azihambelani.
UJoe Linton weStreetsblog wabhala kwinqaku elichuliweyo: “Le projekthi izama ukufumana i-niche eyakhayo kwindawo engalinganiyo kakhulu eLos Angeles, apho sele kukho iyantlukwano enkulu, ukusombulula ukuntsonkotha kokusasazwa kwefenitshala ezitalatweni.Kodwa… ULa Sombrita usaziva engonelanga. ”
Ii-tweets ezininzi zichanekile: ayithandeki.Kodwa uphando olwakhokelela eLa Sombrita lwalungekho.Eli linyathelo lobulumko ukwenza uluntuuthuthoisabela ngakumbi kuye wonke umntu oyisebenzisayo.Njengebhinqa elilinde ibhasi kwisitrato esingenamntu, ndiyakuqhwabela izandla oku.
Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, eyona mpazamo inkulu apha ayizami uyilo olutsha.Yayiyinkomfa yoonondaba eyakhupha ubushushu obuninzi kunokukhanya.
