Dear Daniel,   

Join us at the National
Open Streets Summit

  

In just over a month, leaders from across the country will gather in Los Angeles to participate in the Open Streets National Summit. 

 

You won't find any other opportunity to meet leaders from dozens of Open Streets initiatives in one place. 

 

We'll have sessions led by Open Streets leaders from Atlanta, San Francisco, San Antonio, Los Angeles and more -- culminating with a behinds-the-scenes tour of CicLAvia. 

 

Register for the Open Streets National Summit today -- before the early bird deadline ends on Friday. 

 

Open Streets have already changed the conversation around biking, walking and physical activity in cities across the continent. 

 

Here's what the Los Angeles Times had to say about how CicLAvia has changed transportation in LA:

 

CicLAvia's real importance has been to make clear that the divisions that we spend so much time debating - between cyclist and driver, driver and pedestrian, pedestrian and cyclist - are surprisingly malleable.

CicLAvia has ... allowed Angelenos to see the city and its architecture with fresh eyes. [1]

Bring this conversation to your community, too. 

 

Click here to see the draft agenda for the Open Streets Summit -- and register today.

 

Sincerely, 

Mike Samuelson 

Open Streets Coordinator
