The IE Critical Mass is a fun bike ride that takes place every third Friday of the month. We meet at 7pm, ride at 7:30pm for you stragglers, in the REI parking lot located on the northwest corner of Foothill Blvd and Day Creek Blvd in Rancho Cucamonga.

Last Friday of every month in hundreds of cities around the world, cyclists, roller bladers, boarders, etc...come together for a festive rolling celebration. It's an organized coincidence with no leaders and no set agenda. People come together for many reasons, to assert their right to cleaner air, less congestion, safer roads, and to celebrate and ride in solidarity with other cyclists and like minded individuals. Celebrate this month with Critical Mass!

The Boyle Heights residential community is the first of three pilot survey areas that will be completed for SurveyLA. The City has compiled much information on Boyle Heights, which they will share with you, but need additional information on many topics or themes.The purpose of this meeting is to get your help to do the following:

No one can deny that our region is gripped by many problematic planning pressures - intense traffic congestion, unaffordable housing, increasing density, and the aesthetic blight of poorly designed buildings. Residents' frustration often boils over at city council and community group meetings. Are planning "elites" so out of touch with resident concerns that they have ceased to represent their constituents? Or should complex land use regulation and municipal budgets be left to the cool heads of elected officials and their technocratic staffs? Are citizen initiatives an effective answer to out-of-control power? Or, do such initiatives impose inflexible solutions that are detrimental to the common good? Are planning initiatives democratic, or just another tool of the powerful -- whether Wal-Mart or NIMBY?
