The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) in conjunction with the County Congestion Management Agencies (CMA’s) is offering a series of free workshops on Complete Streets education. The first set of workshops, in a few weeks (Fall 2012) will focus on Complete Streets Policy Development and complying with OBAG requirements. The next set of workshops (in early 2013) will focus on Design & Engineering Best Practices for implementing Complete Streets. Workshops will be held at your local CMA offices or nearby.
For Fall 2012, Complete Streets Policy Development workshop dates, location and to RSVP, please click on the following link:

It’d be really important to help ensure that Department of Public of Works officials in every local Bay Area jurisdiction attend these important workshops.

Assemblymember Tom Amiamo and Supervisor Campos welcoming walkers (Photo by Meera Sethi) — at parque ninos unidos, via Walk San Francisco.
We celebrated a great Walk to School Day today with students at Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8 School.
Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, MTC Commissioner & SF Supervisor David Campos, and school board president Norman Yee walked with the students forming a Walking School Bus from Parque Ninos Unidos in the Mission District to the school.
It was wonderful, and the unusually warm weather made it a particularly amazing experience!
More info can be found at Walk San Francisco, and the story was covered here.
