Even if you’re one of our listeners from outside of the San Gabriel Valley, you doubtless know that this Sunday is the 626. The mammoth car-free party will feature 8 cities, two missions, one Sasquatch and over 20,000 participants. Read more about the 626 at the official website.
And who better to help us preview the event than Wes Reutimann, the special projects director for Active SGV? Wes talks to Kris Fortin about the plans for this Sunday and the history of San Gabriel Valley’s world famous open streets party.
Because of our recording schedule, we decided to split our podcast in two so we could get this interview online as fast as possible. We’ll be back tomorrow with a special edition of SGV Connect highlighting one of the presentations along the 626 route, an interactive modeling project led by James Rojas.
#SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.
