Here in the South Bay we have an extraordinary opportunity to embrace two ready-to-roll sustainable solutions that will improve our health, well-being and the livability of our communities. The South Bay Bicycle Master Plan and the Vitality City Livability Plan will make our streets and neighborhoods more livable by making them more bikeable and walkable. But only if we get the plans passed!

Both plans are up for city council approval in the Beach Cities this fall and on September 24 we'll demonstrate our support for their passage at this uplifting and positive event.
