[Ebbc-Talk] Fwd: from Sunday Streets Berkeley

Thanks to your support and participation, our inaugural Sunday Streets
Berkeley was a huge success! 40,000 people came out to enjoy a vibrant
Shattuck Avenue filled with creativity, engagement, and possibility!
Just imagine what Berkeley would be like if we could capture a bit of
the energy from Sunday Streets Berkeley and build that into our
everyday lives. Sunday Streets Berkeley brings to life many Livable
Berkeley goals including Downtown Revitalization and urban
sustainability - less cars and more people!

Many of you have asked, “When are we having Sunday Streets Berkeley
again?"  We believe Sunday Streets Berkeley is a powerful (and fun!)
way to create civic engagement in community sustainability and we want
to make it happen again in 2013!

Your voice is important. Financial support from the City of Berkeley
is crucial for future Sunday Streets Berkeley events. Let the Berkeley
City Council know you loved Sunday Streets Berkeley and you want it to
become a regular event. Financial support – in the form of waived
permit fees – reflects the City’s commitment to promoting community
cohesion, public health, local business, and Berkeley’s unique values
and character.

In early December the Berkeley City Council will vote on whether or
not to waive Livable Berkeley’s city-related costs and permit fees for
Sunday Streets Berkeley. Urge your Council representative, the Council
as a whole, and Mayor Tom Bates to support this proposal.
