pedestrian path within the former Chandler
Boulevard railroad right-of-way, running from Mariposa Street
to the City border at Clybourn Avenue.
Beautifully landscaped, the Chandler
Bikeway provides an ideal setting for walking, jogging, running,
cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding, walking dogs, and chatting
with family, friends or neighbors along the way.

SIDEWALK
ASTRONOMERSon
the Chandler Bikeway EVERY MONTH
The
Sidewalk Astronomers are a non-profit organization dedicated
to public service in astronomy and astronomical observation.
Sidewalk Astronomer Bob (left) adjusts
his handmade telescope finished just the day before! Bob,
a Burbank amateur astronomer, has been toting his handmade telescopes
to schools and libraries, eager to teach young people that space
exploration is as easy as standing on the sidewalk and looking through
a piece of polished glass. "When you see the smile on a
child's face who has never seen the moon close up, it is worth it,"
Alborzian said. "It just brings a big smile to my face."
Sidewalk Astronomers will be at California & Chandler on
the dates & times below. Information: 818-238-5378
