This Street Sign Could Be Yours If You Give to Streetsblog NYC This Weekend

5:24 PM EST on December 14, 2012

Update! Streetsblog and Streetfilms are about three-quarters of the way to our goal of raising $60,000 by the end of the year. Thanks to everyone who's contributed so far -- we need that support to keep on delivering news, commentary, and videos that make the case for more livable streets.

We've got some extra motivation to donate this weekend as we hit the home stretch of the pledge drive. In addition to our Specialized bike giveway courtesy of Bicycle Habitat, everyone who donates $50 or more to Streetsblog NYC this weekend will be entered to win this gorgeous piece from StreetSign:

Can't you picture this sign gracing your living room wall, or maybe the middle of Newtown Ave? Donate $50 or more to Streetsblog NYC before midnight on Sunday to be eligible for this one.

Thanks everyone, and enjoy the weekend.
