Weekend Update: The Park(ing) Day Ride
Ok, so maybe I bit off a bit more than I could chew. The route I originally mapped on Streetsblog had us visiting twenty parks at all parts of the city. Thanks to arriving early, late, or just flat-out not being able to find the spaces we ended up making it to thirteen spaces in our over forty-mile ride that began in Culver City, swung through Santa Monica and ended in the Downtown.

Major Changes to Friday’s Park(ing) Day Ride – No More Santa Monica!
Unfortunately, I have to announce some major changes to the planned Park(ing) Day ride for Friday. Unlike last year, there aren't any parks planned for the City of Santa Monica so it seems like a bad idea to try and start a ride at 7:30 A.M. at the "Critical Mass Canon" because, well, there wouldn't be anything to do.

The Park(ing) Day Ride: Downtown Santa Monica to Downtown L.A.
While parks continue to be added to the Park(ing) Day map for the big day on September 18, there are enough parks listed that we can begin to sketch out the route for the Park(ing) Day ride. The point of this ride is just to view the spaces that people are setting up, picture it a giant Easter Egg hunt through Santa Monica, the Wishire Corridor, East Hollywood and the Downtown.

Streetscast: Alfredo Hernandez, East Hollywood and Park(ing) Day
Alfredo Hernandez is one of those Angelenos who makes
this city a better place to live but manages to fly under the radar of most
people’s consciousness. Professionally,
Hernandez works with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, a non-profit that
works with low and middle income communities to bring open space projects to
the community.

Announcing the “Parking Day Ride”
Mark it down on your calendar, September 18 is the date for this year's Park(ing) Day LA. While some people find the event, ahem, a little nerdy; for Livable Streets advocates Park(ing) Day falls somewhere between their birthday and Halloween in their list of favorite holidays.
