Dear all,

We here at EcoStreets.net are undergoing some ch-ch-changes. We are recalibrating and relaunching!

Our new focus is on the problem of mobility and creating livable streets around the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus. This includes businesses across the street and neighborhoods in and around Tropicana, Maryland Parkway, Flamingo, Swenson and Harmon. We will be researching stories on what this neighborhood needs in order for it to be a community paradise instead of a traffic nightmare.

We encourage students, faculty and staff of UNLV to contribute to our efforts by becoming a fan of our EcoStreets Facebook Page, Ecostreets Flickr Group, guest posting, linking to us, creating cool stuff for our users, and commenting, commenting, commenting. In the coming months, we will come up with more ways that the UNLV community can engage with us, leaders in public institutions (like RTC and Clark County), and each other!

In other news…your Biker in Boston, Liz, will no longer be posting on a regular basis, but will hopefully contribute every so often on biking. We have a new contributor, Mark Skinner, who will be reporting from Bogota, Colombia this summer, and if the country allows, Chengdu, China in the fall. Why, you ask? Because it’s good to know how other cities around the world are creating livable streets!

We hope that you remain with us to get your dose of Las Vegas transit news and we value your support!

Sincerely,

Aisha O’Brien
