Pecha Kucha Cleveland Vol. 10 - Nov. 19th

Friday, November 19, 2010 8:20 am – 11:00 am
at The Old Arcade at the Hyatt Regency
Free
401 Euclid Avenue

Join us for PechaKucha Night Cleveland - Volume 10 at the Old Arcade, part of the Hyatt Regency. On Friday, November 19th, 2010, at 8:20pm, we will transition from a night in the subway tunnels of the Detroit-Superior Bridge to a night under the Stars, only under the Skylight of the Old Arcade. While presentations do not start until 8:20pm, we encourage you to show up at least an hour early to experience all that this Cleveland Gem, built in 1890, has to offer. 10-12 local creatives will present their work, ideas, and obsessions in a series of short presentations on art, fashion, food, architecture, film, furniture, music, and photography. Space will be tight so be sure to come early and enjoy a few beverages prior to being inspired, influenced, confused, provoked, and probably slightly intoxicated by the wonderfully variegated topic mix. Keep an eye on the list of presenters - we will be updating it over the next week or so. DONT FORGET TO INVITE FRIENDS!:) If you are interested in presenting at a future PechaKucha Night, have a venue idea, or just questions in general, please contact us at pkncleveland@gmail.com. See ya on the 19th!

Cheers,
Mike Christoff & Raseem Parker

Lakewood Bike Planning Meeting (Part 2) - 2010.11.07

Next Bike Planning Meeting Set For November 17

The Bicycle Network Plan Community Workshop #2 will be held on Wednesday, November 17,2010 from 6:30-8:00 PM in the Woman’s Club Pavilion at Lakewood Park. This workshop is hosted by the City of Lakewood’s Department of Planning and Development.

The goal of the bike planning effort is to improve the bicycling environment in Lakewood by gathering resident input and ideas and incorporating them into a comprehensive plan that addresses five focus areas. The 5 E’s, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Encouragement and Evaluation, will shape a plan that not only recommends physical improvements but also helps improve city policies, identify possible funding opportunities and increase overall public awareness of the rules and responsibilities for both motorists and bicyclists.

Building on the great turn out at the October 5th workshop, Planning staff has continued to reach out to the community through surveys, an online map and field work in an effort to clearly understand the needs and habits of Lakewood’s large bicycling population. The first on-line survey gathered basic information about riders and frequently used roadways and had more than two hundred responses.

A new survey focusing on the needs of Children Biking and Walking to School can be accessed by clicking here. If you are the parent, guardian or caregiver of a child from kindergarten to twelfth grade, please take a minute to fill out this brief survey.

At the November 17th workshop, the Planning staff will report on the findings to date and continue this important community conversation. For more information contact Planning and Development at 216.529.6630 or planning@lakewoodoh.net.
