Offsite Blogging CCXLIII
It's Nag Week this week! That's right, since on Orange 20's blog, in Down by the Riverside, I ask you to sign a petition nudging the Army Corps of Engineers to pony up their promised half of restoration funding for the beleaguered Los Angeles River….While at Flying Pigeon LA's fine site, I beg for votes for the GRID harbor freight project I've been helping with for four years—one that would take tens of thousands of trucks off the region's streets, and help keep our air breathable. You can Choose Your Future with a click. We're in the running for a grant from MyLA2050—and you get to pick who wins!

This week's post at Orange 20 Bikes, entitled, Active Transportation at the New Urbanism Film Festival Today, is technically out of date, but still worth reading as an introduction to LA's only film festival dedicated to urban sustainability—and an event you'll be hearing more of as it grows. And you can see trailers for many of the films presented on its website, linked to form the article.Meanwhile, at Flying Pigeon LA we plug the upcoming CicLAvia, the return of the original "Heart of LA" edition, in CicLAvia Classic Is Back! It's going to be a good one! See you there?
