Bicycles & Boulevards: Gearing Toward Slow Movement in LA
LA is buzzing with news about bicycles.  From the newly revised Los Angeles City Bicycle Plan to the October debut of David Byrne's book, "Bicycle Diaries", rethinking the role of bikes can be an important part of making LA a more livable city. To keep the momentum going, COTE presents an evening dedicated to bicycles in LA.

Bikes

 

Cars

 

How many people can share a boulevard?  As the volume of car traffic in LA has begun to exceed the limits of current infrastructure, the use of bicycles can become a significant mode of travel throughout the city.  Clean, compact and economic, the bicycle also offers possibilities for deeper connections to our communities and a better quality of life for Angelinos and tourists, alike.  Please join us for a discussion of the challenges, opportunities and visions for increasing bicycle use in Los Angeles.

Moderators:

Ilaria Mazzoleni, Architect and Debora Gloria, AIA

  • Civic leader:  Lynne Goldsmith, Bicycle Program Manager, LA Metropolitan Transportation Authority
  • Bicycle advocate:  Dorothy Le, LA Bicycle Coalition
Students:  SCI-Arc, Critical Mass class - Bike sharing feasibility study, Wilshire Center (w/Prof. Ilaria Mazzoleni - www.imstudio.us)
