Congratulations to Rye Baerg, LA Streetsblog’s 2011 Government Worker of the Year, and Colin Bogart, LA Streetsblog’s 2011 Advocate of the Year.
Both worked extensively on the Glendale Safe and Healthy Streets Plan, approved by city council this April, and are now members of Walk Bike Glendale, an advocacy group that has been meeting for months now “to make Glendale a safer, healthier, more welcoming place for people to walk and bike by promoting and advocating for safe, sustainable, and efficient transportation options.”
Walk Bike Glendale aims to implement the Safe and Healthy Streets Plan, and is now pushing for formation of an official Pedestrian and Bicyclist Advisory Committee for Glendale. Embracing the tradition established when the grant-funded planning effort was underway, Walk Bike Glendale will be marching and cycling (with holiday lights on the bicycles!) in the Montrose Christmas Parade this Saturday.
