Last night's capacity crowd reception honored the city of Los Angeles Transportation Department's new General Manager Seleta Reynolds. Not only is Reynolds a champion for safety and for great places, but she even committed to scheduling this reception though it coincided with her birthday.
A big thanks to all the folks responsible for making last night's reception a big success:
Seleta Reynolds, for taking time out of her busy schedule to engage, encourage, and interact
All of our great fellow hosting organizations, who promoted, volunteered, valet bike parked, signed-in, set-up, and took down, and who, along with Reynolds and many others, are out pushing for the livability victories that Streetsblog enjoys reporting daily: Safe Routes to School National Partnership, Los Angeles Walks, and the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. Thanks especially to Jessica Meaney, Deborah Murphy, Eric Bruins, and JJ Hoffman, the individuals who spearheaded the organizing efforts!
LAPD got approval from the Police Commission to extend their BolaWrap pilot on Metro in August, but hadn't advised Metro of their plans until after the fact.
