CicLAvia open-streets events in Los Angeles

Overview

The nonprofit organization CicLAvia has scheduled open-streets events in the Los Angeles area.

An event titled ‘CicLAvia — Heart of LA’ involves closing a 6.5-mile stretch of streets to motor vehicles. This route connects neighborhoods including Echo Park, downtown Los Angeles, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, the Arts District, and Boyle Heights to facilitate walking, biking, and other forms of people-powered transportation. The event includes four hubs providing amenities such as restrooms, water-refilling stations, and first aid.

Following this, Pasadena announced it will host a CicLAvia event on November 15. This event features a 2.7-mile primary route spanning Colorado Boulevard and Raymond Avenue, supplemented by two one-mile “Slow Streets” routes on Walnut Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. Similar to the Los Angeles event, activity hubs will be established to provide amenities and free pedicab rides.
