2014 in Review - Short List of Accomplishments
The 5-City San Gabriel Valley Regional Bicycle Master Plan was unanimously adopted by the cities of San Gabriel, Baldwin Park, Monterey Park, El Monte, and South El Monte in 2014, making the SGV greener than ever!

The following was only possible in 2014 because of you, our supporters, donors, and friends!
- Successfully completed the SGV Bike Plan, with City Councils in all 5 project cities (Monterey Park, Baldwin Park, San Gabriel, El Monte, South El Monte) unanimously approving local bicycle master plans.
- Partnered with the SGV Council of Governments to secure California ATP funding for Active Transportation Plans in 5 additional SGV Cities - Montebello, Irwindale, Glendora, La Puente, and Monrovia.
- Launched the SGV Regional Greenway Project to transform over a 100 miles of access roads along the region's washes and creeks into a regional network of Class I bicycle and pedestrian paths. Partnered with the SGV Council of Governments and Cities of Pomona and Baldwin Park to submit grant applications to fund design of segments of San Jose Creek and Big Dalton Wash.
- Assisted almost a dozen SGV cities successfully apply for Open Streets funding.
- Opened our official headquarters at Mulhall Elementary in the City of El Monte, the future site of the SGV's first Bike Campus
