This Week in Livable Streets Events
Tuesday and Saturday - The Los Angeles County Bike Coalition begins its bike counts within city limits for the City of Los Angeles. If the copious amount of e-mail I've gotten is any indication, and it is, they are still looking for volunteers. If you have any free time, email yhendlin@ucla.org. And for more information, click here.
Thursday - At 9:30 A.M. in the Metro Boardroom Downtown it's a Metro Board Meeting? This week, will the Board finally make a decision on whether or not to renew their exclusive rail car contract with Ansaldo Breda? Will they vote on the 2008, 2009, 2010 Long Range Transportation Plan? I doubt it. But at least they'll hold a hearing on the fare structure for their Silver Streak Bus Service.
