FOR PARKING, DIRECTIONS, SCHEDULE - SCROLL DOWN

Join us for our 10th Anniversary Party Dinner event at on March 21 from 6 to 9 p.m. at El Paseo Inn at Olvera Street, across the street from Union Station. We’ll be looking back at 10 years of stories, advocacy, and the people that have made up a decade of Streetsblog.

We’ll also be honoring a special group of Super-Streetsie Winners for being the newsmakers and leaders that have made 10 years of Streetsblog as exciting as they’ve been. As we get closer to the event, we’ll be announcing more winners. Today, we are ready to announce four:

City Councilmember Mike Bonin

Tamika Butler, Esq.

CicLAvia

The California Endowment

Building support for a Great Street is a lot like chess, right Mike?
Bonin enjoys a round of chess at CicLAvia "Culver City Meets Venice" in 2015. (see what we did there?)

Tickets are $100 per person on a sliding scale. If you can’t afford $100 or you just donated during our winter drive, feel free to slide down to a lower number. There are also sponsorship opportunities listed here. If you have a different sponsorship in mind, email damien@streetsblog.org and we’ll be happy to talk.

It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years. With your help, we look forward to celebrating 20 years in 2028!

HOW TO GET THERE:

The site is very convenient for riding Metro. Take the Red, Purple, or Gold Line to Union Station; find schedules via the Metro website and trip-planner. Exit Union Station on the Alameda Street side. Walk west across Alameda, continue up to the plaza, then turn right into Olvera Street and El Paseo Inn will be on your right.

around 7:15 p.m. - Program Begins

WEATHER FORECAST:

L.A. is expecting a couple of the biggest rainstorms of the year. Current forecasts call for heavy rain during the day both Wednesday and Thursday, but with a lull expected early Wednesday evening, right around the time of the dinner celebration. Expect rain, or at least cloudy skies.

PARKING - BICYCLES:

Metro's Union Station Bike Hub is providing free bicycle parking, though cyclists who are not already members of Bike Hub need to register - either on-line in advance, or on-site from 6 to 6:3o p.m. Registration uses a promotional code available to only folks who are registered for the dinner event.
