The Week in Livable Streets Events

sblog_calendar

People in Westwood are suddenly optimistic that Councilmember Paul Koretz is close to turning around on bicycle lanes on major streets. Momentum is building for bike lanes on Westwood Boulevard just north of National Boulevard. We'll see.

    • Today - A host of community and national advocacy groups are hosting a conference on shared-use mobility even as you read this calendar. Unless you're reading it on tomorrow. Then it's over. Read my preview from last week, right here.
    • Today - Come out to express to the WVIA the need for bicycle infrastructure on Westwood Blvd. -- a key direct route to and from campus for many cyclists — to enhance safe travel options, community health, and support thriving businesses. Ryan Snyder, President, Ryan Snyder Associates, LLC, will give a special presentation on the proposed Westwood Boulevard Bikeways “Remove Nothing Plan” to local merchants, neighbors, and stakeholders. Get the details, here.
    • Wednesday - The City Council Transportation Committee will not be meeting this week. See the notice, here.
    • Wednesday - Bike lanes are bad! Tunnels for freeways are good! This is some of the insanity that has been thrown around in the CD 14 race between Councilmember Jose Huizar, Supervisor Gloria Molina, and Nadine Diaz. The last forum in the race is this Wednesday in Eagle Rock. Get the details on Facebook.
    • Thursday - The Metro Board of Directors holds its monthly meeting. You can read the agenda, here. You can read the highlights from last week's committee meetings, here.
    • Thursday - South L.A. community leaders will share their diverse and dynamic visions for food justice, urban agriculture, community arts, and recreation from 6 - 7:30 p.m. at a USC Visions and Voices panel. Panelists include South L.A. notables Ben Caldwell (Kaos Network); Karen Mack (LA Commons); Javier “JP” Partida (Los Ryderz); and Neelam Sharma (Community Services Unlimited). Details, here.
    • Friday - Critical Mass. Wilshire/Western. 7:00 p.m.
    • Sunday - C.I.C.L.E. will lead a community bicycle ride, “Tweed, Moxie, and Mustaches,” through Cypress Park and Glassell Park to pedal back in time. This expedition, open to all bicyclists, will make several stops, including the Heritage Square Museum, a living history museum, as well as the former Van de Kamp Holland Dutch Bakery, built in the early 1900s. Participants will get a taste of history at each stop. Get the details, here.
    • March 11 - Santa Monica Next will host a happy hour with the team from Gehl Architects visiting for the West Coast Urban District Forum. RSVP on Facebook.
