The Week In Livable Streets Events

It's a short week.  Middle weeks in July so often are.  To make matters worse, Metro Board Committees aren't meeting until next week.

Monday - Latino Urban Forum invites you to join a lively discussion on food, equality, food justice, and healthy food choices and why these issues are relevant to Latinos in Los Angeles.  The meeting starts at 6:00 P.M. on the Eastside.  Get all the details, here.

Tuesday -  Join Van Alen Institute at the Caltrans Headquarters in downtown Los Angeles  for a presentation of winning entries from the Life at the Speed of Rail competition and a conversation about the role of design in California’s high-speed rail future.  The meeting starts at 4:00 P.M.  Get more details, here.

Wednesday - The City Council Transportation Committee meets to discuss the final approval of Jaime De La Vega as Transportation Committee Chair and higher fees for parking scofflaws.  You know, the normal.  The meeting starts at 2:00 P.M. at City Hall.  You can read the agenda, here.
