The Week in Livable Streets Events: AIA Conference, Metro Meetings, LACBC Celebrates Student Research

It’s a big list this week, let’s get right to it.

  • Tuesday – The City of Glendale City Council meets to vote on whether to continue a road diet on Honolulu Street.  Read an email from LACBC’s Colin Bogart on the vote and how you can get involved here.
  • Tuesday, Wednesday – The Metro Board of Directors is preparing to give a fond farewell to the reign of Antonio Villaraigosa as Chair of the Board of Directors.  His last meeting as Chair will be next week.  But all the major work of the Board is done at committee this week, leaving just the infighting for next week.  Get the committee schedule, here.
  • Wednesday – The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition hosts a celebration of some of the best graduate research on livable streets issues in Greater Los Angeles.  Stay tuned to Streetsblog for articles written by some of the researchers.  Get the information on the meeting, here.
