Critical Mass ride on Friday, July 21st, at 8:30 pm NELA Bikes! presents the showing of "Contested Streets", a NYC Transportation Alternatives co-produced documentary film that chronicles how New York City was overwhelmed by vehicular traffic and explores how, by learning from recent innovations in London, Paris and Copenhagen, New York City can reclaim its public spaces, boost street performance and secure its place at the forefront of the global economy.

The 57-minute video features examples of reclaimed streets from New York's sister cities, including footage of London's congestion pricing zone, Paris' Bus Rapid Transit corridors and Copenhagen's network of protected bike paths.

This showing will occur at Rockrose Gallery, a Northeast L.A. art and performance space at 4108 North Figueroa St. Close to the Heritage Square Metro Gold Line station. [Map] There will be adjacent off-street parking for bikes. Suggested donation for the space is $2.00.
