Bike Cleveland Summit Weekend

The first Bike Cleveland Summit hosted by the newly minted BikeCleveland organization (a cornucopia of new and established local cycling advocates) is being hosted this weekend in (surprise!) Cleveland. The summit is positioned as a "regional strategic planning event" or in regular terms, an intro to BikeCleveland and the creation of the framework for bicycle advocacy. As Cleveland administration is showing support for the Complete Streets initiative it is imperative that local advocates are involved, to support ideas and programs that are cost effective and beneficial to non-automotive transportation so that our new systems not only work, but can be held up as a model of great design, planning and implementation.

Registration is closed for the summit (sorry I didn't get this up earlier, had way too much going on and was freaking out a bit) however it shouldn't be hard to find people involved to get your voice heard. At the very least you should be aware that this movement is underway and going forward.

Roadtrip (9!) - Bowling Green State University 2011-2012 AIAS Lecture Series

Bowling Green State University, which is around 1.5 hours from Cleveland (I'm thinking) has posted their Department of Architecture's 2011-2012 AIAS Lecture Series which I am posting below for your viewing and visiting pleasure. I always liked visiting BGSU for the variety of events and they boasted one of my all time favorite college bands that could consistently bring, what we liked to call in our younger days, the rawk. Alas the band, Stylex, is no more, however BGSU is still there and always worth a quick visit, especially as the architecture program looks to be maturing.
