Thursday – The Metro Board of Directors will meet for their July/August meeting with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at the helm. The agenda hasn’t been posted yet, but we do know there will be votes on the Community Benefits/Protection resolution for the Crenshaw Line and a vote on whether or not pursue a Bike Share program at Metro Stations. When the agenda is posted, you can find it here.
Thursday – The Re-Think L.A. Exhibit opens at the A + D Museum. The exhibit includes 20 photographs of present day Los Angeles juxtaposed with 20 collages of a future LA.

Get the details, here.
