An easier way to get around

The LADOT has a cool new website with more real-time traffic maps and more. LAist give it a good review, but suggest a few improvements including:

A blog. Transportation is in the top three of hottest issues in the city. Why is there not constant communication with the citizens? For one, the current LADOT Public Information Officer works his ass off, but needs more resources and flexibility. A blog with its simple and instant push button press technology moves beyond controlling bureaucracies and gets information to the people in a timely manner. It will not only create a positive dialogue between residents and one of the most hated departments in the city (disliked both by residents, city staff and city council), but will improve the way the department thinks and works.

The page does not load any maps at all in Safari, the browser used by Macs.

Switching to Firefox does work, but the site should be Mac-friendly.

Wow. That is a horrible map. Crudely constructed and missing the most important areas. Why is all of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood whited out? Why is there no information on the highways? I'll stick to Google Maps.
