Sun
Trolley to Host a Transportation Celebration Event to
Celebrate
25 Years of Service in Fort Lauderdale
|
Fort
Lauderdale, FL – August 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / The Sun
Trolley, known for its quaint red and yellow trolleys that have been
transporting locals and tourists alike and have become a staple in the
greater Fort Lauderdale community, will celebrate its silver anniversary
this September. To kick off the 25th anniversary celebration, the Sun Trolley
is hosting "A Transportation Celebration" on Wednesday, September 21, 2016
from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum (1527
SW 1st Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315).
"We
wanted to do something special for the 25th Anniversary of the Sun Trolley
and for us this meant celebrating together with the community and continuing
a discussion about what transportation is going to look like in Fort Lauderdale
for the next 25 years," says Executive Director of the Downtown Fort Lauderdale
TMA Robyn Chiarelli.
This
'Hip to Jive' event at the Antique Car Museum promises to take participants
back to the Roaring 20's. With Great Gatsby-themed décor, the event
will feature light fare, drinks, a swing band with flapper dancers, and
remarks from community leaders and elected officials. The event will focus
on celebrating past accomplishments and embracing the future of transportation
and economic growth in Broward County.
"Serving
more than 450,000 residents and tourists each year, the Sun Trolley and
Riverwalk Water Trolley are integral components of the City's multi modal
transportation network. As the landscape of our transportation system continues
to expand and evolve, it's important that we come together as a community
to continue the dialogue and share ideas," said Chiarelli.
