AIA/Los Angeles Urban Design Committee Wednesday, NOVEMBER 10, 7PM Green Streets/ Great Streets- one in a series Green Streets + Complete Streets = Living Streets Location: AIA/LA Offices Wiltern Building 3780 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 800 Space is limited!! RSVP to will@aialosangeles.org There is a great deal of discussion regarding Green Streets, and Complete Streets. As part of our Green Streets/Great Streets series, we have gathered some of the local experts on designing and implementing livable streets so we can focus on some basic concepts and implementation tools for making great streets. The issues of Green Streets and Complete streets are often looked at as separate issues, however they cannot be separated. As our panelists have already passionately stated, it’s imperative that we look at the broad concept of Livable or Living Streets and what we should do to advocate and implement them in our cities. Please join us for a lively discussion. Panelists: Emily Gabel-Luddy, AICP, (retired) Chief Urban Designer. Urban Design Studio, City of LA Planning Department Deborah Murphy, Principal Deborah Murphy Urban Design + Planning Patricia L. Smith, Principal, Landscape Architect, Urban Designer Calvin Abe, Principal, Ahbe Landscape Architects Ken Husting, Acting Principal Transportation Engineer, Bureau of Capital Programming, LADOT

The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) will host a second bicycle ride and protest on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 in honor of downed cyclist and City employee Ed Magos—and other victims of hit-and-run collisions whose cases have been unjustly treated only to have the drivers time and time again receive unfairly light sentences—if any at all.
