Voters in Los Angeles have elected to approve Measure HLA, a highly debated initiative that would require the city to make roads and walkways safer from deadly car crashes. Measure HLA, also known as Healthy Streets L.A., will implement Mobility Plan 2035, which calls for additional safety measures on city streets like widening sidewalks, installing protected bike lanes and adding road elements to prevent speeding. The only state legislative issue on the ballot this March was Proposition 1, which would overhaul California’s behavioral health services program. As of 11 a.m. Wednesday, the race was deadlocked at 50 percent each, with “Yes” votes holding a very slight advantage.  KTLA 5's Ellina Abovian reports.
