Civic Minded Cycling AND Great Park Redirection?

Cynthia Rose, Director of Santa Monica Spoke (smspoke.org) shows how municipal leadership and local activism translates into the Ocean Park Blvd. Green Street Project; the Santa Monica Bike Center; and over all improvements to how the city's transit infrastructure performs. Watch for: the next CycLAvia (4/21/13) extending all the way to the sea; Santa Monica's Michigan Avenue Greenway; and Santa Monica's Bike Action Plan. More cycling information is available on Bike Talk podcasts. Recently re-elected Irvine City Council Member Beth Krom considers the impact of the new composition of the Council on the further development of the Orange County Great Park and its programs. The Park's Board of Directors no longer seats members at large from beyond Irvine, and is comprised of only the 5 City Council members. The 10 year relationship with the Forde and Mollrich, and Townsend Public Affairs firms is ended. All Park contracts over $50,000 will be auditited. The current vision for the Park is yet to be disclosed. The Council meetings can be viewed on Cox Cable channel 30; U-Verse Channel 99; and ICTV Podcasts on line on the City Council website. Today would have been Martin Luther King, Jr's 84 birthday.
