Park[ing] Day LA Workshop

Park[ing] Day LA Workshop:

On September 5, 2009 @ 10 am, we will be hosting a Park[ing] Day LA Workshop on Santa Monica Blvd. We'll be using the Greensters to transpo supplies to the location (9am load-in, 9:30 ride, 10am arrival) where we will install a simple and basic temporary park on the south side of SM Blvd.

9:00 am to 10:00 am - Greensters transpo
10:00 am to 2:00 pm - Park[ing] Day LA Workshop

The location of the Park[ing] Day LA is right in front of the City of LA's Bureau of Street Field Operations Division. The East Hollywood Neighborhood Council has a simple message, "Why don't we turn this big storage yard into a PARK and store the "stuff" somewhere else!"

If you encounter any confusion or puzzled looks as you promote Park[ing] Day LA, this is the time to invite them to come and join us as we build a simple park and create community, all on Santa Monica Blvd. (just two blocks east of the Red Line Station) We'd love to have you all join us!

Park[ing] Day LA Press:

CityWatchLA will run Friday articles, starting tomorrow, on the different Park[ing] Day LA events and installations and celebrations. East Hollywood's "Rec Center" on Heliotrope is first up, followed by the Greensters' "Load[ing] Zone" mobile parks and then DLANC's in "ReClaim[ing]" in Harlem Alley. As soon as you have something to promote, send me your event, your message, your location, your partners and we'll get some rhythm going with weekly features.

Thanks for pitching in!
