Streetsblog California will be off for the holidays tomorrow and Friday. We wish you a safe and fun holiday celebration, and a happy new year full of good walks and fun bike rides.

On Monday December 28, SBCA will return to present nominations for the 2015 Streetsie awards, Los Angeles edition. Vote for your favorite livability leaders, from the elected, agency, business, media, and advocacy fields in the L.A. area; reader polls will be published December 28, 29, and 30, with voting extended through Tuesday, January 5.

Streetsblog California will announce our first-ever California-wide Streetsie Award winners the following week.

And remember: donate today to keep Streetsblog California's coverage of statewide transportation policy coming!
