News: 

• Arroyo Fest was a huge success! Thousands turned out to walk, jog, and roll on a car-free 110 freeway between Pasadena and East LA. Truly an amazing experience that showed just how much people in Southern California are eager for safe, car-free spaces to enjoy the outdoors and healthy mobility. The LA Times interviewed a number of participants asking what they like about biking in LA and what could be improved. Nearly all said they wanted safer streets to bike on. 
• The Transportation Subcommittee hosted an information table at the Halloween Happening downtown. If you have any questions or recommendations for improving transportation safety, accessibility, and sustainability, please email: transportation@cityofsierramadre.com.
