SUMMARY:Westside Urban Forum Breakfast Talk: Reviving Transit Ridership
DESCRIPTION:Reviving Transit Ridership\nThursday\, June 29th\, 2023
\nHelms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\n8:30 am – 9:30 am PST \nDoors open at 7:45 for registration\, breakfast and networking. \nRSVP Required!

  \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			Members Register Here\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n			Nonmembers Register Here\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n			\nLos Angeles County transit agencies are investing billions in new bus and rail infrastructure and services. Two new rail lines have opened on the Westside in the past ten years\, with more to come. However\, transit ridership is trending in the opposite direction. Ridership on the Los Angeles Metro system is down by approximately one third from pre-pandemic levels. Reasons include everything from work-from-home to increased crime and vagrancy\, reduced service hours\, and increased vehicle headways. And things could get even worse\, as decreased farebox recovery and expiring pandemic emergency funds apply even more pressure to reduce levels of service. If Angelenos avoid the train and bus\, opting for personal vehicles and Zoom\, what does that mean for Los Angeles? Regionwide goals for reducing pollution and increasing transit-oriented development\, walkability\, and housing production are all at stake. \nAt WUF this month\, LA Metro officials and transit advocates will survey the challenges facing Metro and other transit service providers. Join us for a panel discussion on ways to maintain transit service\, attract riders\, and make the most of the crucial infrastructure and civic amenity that the Los Angeles region needs. \nPanelists\nSteve Fiechter\, Sr.\, Director of Metro Services\, People Assisting the Homeless (PATH)\nDaniel Rodman\, Deputy Director Transportation\, Mayor Karen Bass’s Office\nPamela Krebs\, Executive Officer\, Los Angeles Metro\, Communications – Public Relations\nStephen Tu\, Sr. Director for Operations\, Los Angeles Metro \nModerator\nEli Lipmen\, Executive Director\, Move LA \nRegistration Fees

SUMMARY:Westside Urban Forum Breakfast Talk: Al Fresco Dining in the Public Right-of-Way: Whose Space is it?
DESCRIPTION:How are Different Cities Responding to the Shifting Landscape of Outdoor Dining?\nThursday\, May 18th\, 2023
\nHelms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\n8:30 am – 9:30 am PST \nDoors open at 7:45 for registration\, breakfast and networking. \nRSVP Required!

 \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			Members Register Here\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n			Nonmembers Register Here\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n			\nOn March 4\, 2020 Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Many jurisdictions followed with local emergency orders which called on residents to limit all activities outside of their homes. These restrictions included prohibiting restaurants and retail food facilities from providing indoor dining in coordination with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The financial impact of the public health emergency was particularly difficult for small restaurants.\nSoon after came the temporary outdoor dining programs that have helped to alleviate the financial stress of the indoor dining prohibition. These new programs often suspended certain regulations in order to provide restaurants and other food establishments with an alternative to full indoor dining – temporarily. \nNow that we moved from the pandemic to an endemic and full service indoor dining is allowed\, how do cities transition and take the best of what outdoor dining offered during the height of the pandemic into the future? Can cities reclaim the public right-of-way from the very businesses that provided the public a safe respite and gathering place? Will businesses be able to adjust as regulations are enforced and the cost of outdoor dining increases for operators? \nHow has the urban landscape shifted\, literally and figuratively\, and who do our streets and sidewalks belong to after all? Join us to discuss these questions and more. \nPanelists: 
\nAndrew Thomas\, CEO\, Downtown Santa Monica\, Inc.\nJohn Keho\, Director of Planning and Development Services\, City of West Hollywood\nRaimonda Gintaliene\, owner of Uppers Cafe and Bakeshop\, Santa Monica\nMadeline Brozen\, Deputy Director\, UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies \nModerator: \nAnnette M. Kim\, Ph.D\, Associate Professor\, USC Sol Price School of Public Policy \nRegistration Fees
