Oct 10 '06 - 560 W, 5 I, 2 D - Vote Good + 9 :: Bad - 11 Walk, Bike, Ride, L.A. Campaign
Published October 10, 2006 by C.I.C.L.E.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa speaks about his efforts to make Los
Angeles "the greenest and cleanest city in America", yet his vision for
a sustainable Los Angeles continues to neglect an emphasis on walking
and bicycling as being part of this future.
Cities such as
Portland, OR and San Francisco have quickly risen to the top of the
list as the nation's most sustainable cities. These cities have made
significant efforts to encourage both bicycling and walking as clean
and viable modes of transportation. C.I.C.L.E. believes that if Los
Angeles is to become the "greenest and cleanest" city in the nation,
then we too need to be incorporating strategies that encourage
bicycling and walking as part of a sustainable solution for our
transportation needs.
Lets send a message to the Mayor asking
him to include bicycling and walking as part of his vision of a clean
and green L.A. Print out our pre-addressed postcard and send it to
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa today.
Postcards are available 4 to an 8.5"x 11" sheet. Print each side back to back on card stock.
We
will be distributing these postcards within the L.A. area, but you can
help us circulate these postcards too. Forward this page to your
friends, or print out several postcards and leave them at cafes or on
bulletin boards around Los Angeles.
Thanks for helping to make Los Angeles a healthier and more sustainable city!

Dear Honorable Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa,
As a resident of Los Angeles, I applaud your
efforts to increase public transportation and
create transit villages in the city of Los Angeles.
However, this is just not enough. I would like
to encourage you to consider a BROADER
vision of what sustainable transportation
means in our city by investing in and promoting
more BICYCLE and PEDESTRIAN friendly
transportation alternatives.
Sincerely___________________________
