Bonnie- Co-director of programs for APA-LA

 

 

Summer in the City is a new series introducing APA LA’s members to the latest innovative, proactive planning in cities around the Los Angeles region. Between June and September, we’ll visit several cities whose staff will lead tours, site visits, and presentations that showcase their planning and community development efforts.

On August 21, the third in the series will take us to Santa Monica.
We’ll explore downtown Santa Monica’s return to a transit terminus and the projects transforming the area into a multi-modal hub. We will then stroll to award-winning Tongva Park and continue conversation at an ocean view bar for drinks and snacks, ending the evening on Santa Monica Pier for a Twilight Concert with The Zombies.

Tickets are now available thru brown paper tickets:
