Safer Streets event in Miami
| March 27, 2010 | ||
| 10:00 am | to | 1:00 pm |
Please join me for one of the most important events of the year to make the streets of South Florida safer for bicyclists, pedestrians, and runners. This is a fund-raiser for Green Mobility Network, a nonprofit advocacy group promoting nonmotorized transportation and safe streets throughout Miami-Dade County.
WHAT: Documentary films on the theme “Livable Cities & Safe Streets.”
The films include the world premiere and exclusive showing of “The Journey Is the Thing,” by local bicyclist-filmmaker Tony Blazejack, documenting the “ghost bike” and memorial ride for bicyclist Christophe Le Canne, who was killed while bicycling on the Rickenbacker Causeway on Jan. 17. You’ll also see how other cities are becoming more livable and making their streets safer: Curitiba, Brazil and Denver, New York, and Portland, Ore.
The $10 admission benefits Green Mobility Network and includes food and beverages before and after the films, a silent auction, and free attended bike valet parking.
WHERE: Bill Cosford Cinema, University of Miami
DATE AND TIME: Saturday, March 27, 2010, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
If you can attend, please so indicate at the Green Mobility Network page on Facebook. Select “events”
