CicLAvia – Mid City Meets Pico Union
On Sunday, April 16; 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. CicLAvia presented by Metro and in partnership with Accelerate Resilience L.A., will connect Mid City and Pico Union with four miles of open streets for people to experience in a transformative, car-free way.
The CicLAvia - Mid City meets Pico Union represents the 44th edition of the beloved open streets event which began in 2010. Free to attend, participants are encouraged to jog, ride, bike, skate, run, walk, skateboard, or spectate along the route. CicLAvia is always a celebration of our diverse and vibrant communities, and CicLAvia car-free streets connect all of us to the neighborhoods where we live, work, shop, learn, and play. As active participants at CicLAvia, we use people-powered mobility to navigate our public streets in a safe and joyful way. Along the way, we shop at our local businesses, we are introduced to cultural and architectural gems, we use our streets as spaces to connect with each other, and we do our individual part to make a positive impact on our environment by creating a more sustainable and climate resilient city and region.
Los Angeles is a city known for innovation and creativity, and CicLAvia has partnered with Accelerate Resilience L.A. (ARLA) which helps envision Los Angeles as a climate-resilient region that is safer, healthier, and more prepared for our new climate reality. ARLA’s mission is to engage, empower, and activate individuals and communities to collectively accelerate meaningful, equitable, and holistic resilience to climate change.
With three (3) hubs of activities and programs along the April route, the CicLAvia experience will be both fun and engaging for all to enjoy. Hubs are walking zones (bike dismounts) and meeting points along the route and offer additional programming and activities.
