Fletcher, Alvarez and
Faulconer each spend one night addressing livable streets and communities in
San Diego
WHAT:
Beginning today, October 7, 2013, our
mayoral candidates tell us where they stand on livable streets and communities
in their campaign for Mayor of San Diego. Nathan Fletcher, David Alvarez and
Kevin Faulconer have each reserved one evening at various local spots to
address the growing momentum for walkable, bikeable neighborhoods.
WHEN: Each candidate will speak on their own
designated day:
· 6 p.m. on Monday, October 7: Nathan Fletcher at Mission Brewery
(1441 L Street)
· 6 p.m. on Wednesday, October 9: David Alvarez at Mission Brewery
· 4 p.m. on Thursday, October 31: Kevin Faulconer at Wine Pub (2907
Shelter Island Drive #108)
WHY:
In the past year, San Diegans have
shown repeatedly that they want a city structure that makes neighborhoods walk
and bike friendly. With the unanimous passing of DECO
Bike Share (to
implement throughout San Diego in 2014), the city’s first ever CicloSDias, a series of Bike
Local Sundays, $200 million passed for SANDAG’s
bicycle projects and
the largest bicycle friendly Business Improvement District in the nation, all eyes are on what
San Diego does next to continue being a leader in open streets and livable
neighborhoods.
The event is free and open to all
community members.
