This Wednesday: Colina Park Transportation Community Workshop

This Wednesday, the City Heights Community Development Corporation invites all residents and other stakeholders to a Community Workshop about improving transportation in the Colina Park neighborhood of City Heights. The event will be held this coming Wednesday, December 14, at Ibarra Elementary School (4877 Orange Ave.) from 6 – 8pm.

This will be the 2nd part of a two part Community Workshop series for the F.A.C.T.S. (Full Access Community Transport System) Project which collected input from over 200 residents of Colina Park in order to determine transportation needs and solutions to those needs.

The CHCDC will be asking the workshop participants to select one of two implementation visions for the Colina Park neighborhood. Those visions will be constructed based on the data we gathered from surveys, focus groups, and the workshop we held on August 11. But we’re always open and actively encourage, and in fact depend upon, your ideas for next steps!

Please come out and let the CHCDC know what you think. They would greatly appreciate it if you could spread the word to those who live, work, or go to school in Colina Park (which is in between Euclid, 54th St., University Ave., and El Cajon Blvd.).

The CHCDC will be raffling off a bike kindly donated by City Heights-based Bikes Del Pueblo, with parts from Pedal Pushing Bike Shop, and accessories from Thomas Bike Shop. Only Colina Park residents who attend this workshop and who attended the August 11 workshop will be eligible for the bike raffle. However, all attendees will be eligible to win bike helmets and blinky red bike lights.

Free food and refreshments will be available to participants.

Translation will be provided for those who prefer Spanish, Oromo, and Somali.
