Streetsie Award Party

Leave a reply

On Thursday, March 24 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., there will be a party — food and drink! — at Cyclehop’s west coast headquarters to celebrate some of 2015’s Streetsie winners. Assemblymember Richard Bloom, Cyclehop, and Hulu will all be honored at the party for their work in promoting shared streets.

Bloom, both at the state level and through his work on the Santa Monica City Council (1999-2012), has been a champion of sustainable and active transportation. He was also integral in bringing about Breeze Bike Share (operated by Cyclehop), Los Angeles County’s first public bike-share system. Now, Beverly Hills and Long Beach have begun to follow suit, adopting bike-share systems also run by Cyclehop. And Hulu, located in Santa Monica, is helping to support sustainable transportation by generously supporting Breeze Bike Share to the tune of $675,000 a year. Tickets to Thursday’s party are available here. We hope you can make it.

Office of Assemblymember Richard Bloom, would like to invite local advocates to the Streetsie Awards Party & Fundraiser for Santa Monica Next. Bloom’s office has offered to cover the entry for local advocates who may not otherwise be able to afford the ticket price.
Please message if interested.
