    im not sure if anybody else has tried browsing the site on their mobile devices yet, but my windows based phone handles it quite well. The only things I am not seeing are the moving features, like the scrolling images on the main page and the rollover dropdowns on the main menu.

    It would be ideal to have some sort of placeholder for the scrolling images on a mobile connection, but I understand it’s not nearly as critical as the submission portals & other issues you guys are ironing out right now.

    I’m sure you’ve thought about this, but it would be good to delete some of these website mechanics comments before the hard lauch.

      Description: Living Streets LA invites interested communities to present their plans for creating new public spaces in existing street right-of-ways on Tuesday, August 24, 2010. The details can be found on our Pilot Streets Page, in our April 21 post, and on the down-loadable flyer LS Pilot Mtg One-Sheet 8.24.

      If you are working on a compatible project and want to present, please send an email to livingstreetsla{at}gmail.com and let us know your community name, contact person and a brief description of your idea. The meeting is open to the public for others who are interested in attending. We will send out updates as the meeting gets closer.

      Living Streets will facilitate a discussion with the attendees at the August 24 meeting to choose 2-3 pilot projects that we intend to provide technical assistance support to and post on our website.

      RailLA has graciously agreed to host the meeting at its ‘LA Beyond Cars: A Global Perspective on Rail and Public Space’ exhibition in Downtown LA, which is ‘A multimedia experience showcasing concepts, ideas, and musings from around the world on the future of Los Angeles, a future beyond just cars’.
