This could be a great idea in other Cities surrounding LA as well (hint). A big challenge for these cities is getting resources to safely close off large segments of streets, plus buy-in from local businesses and residents.

Yeah! CicLAvia in LA. I can't wait. It's not a question of "if", it's a question of "where" and "when" and "how often will we repeat this fantastic experience for Angelenos". Oh yeah!

Wooooot! Wooooooooot! It's great to see that this great idea is finally getting some traction! I wanna ride in LA's ciclovia next summer!

Some credit where credit due: CicLAvia is a project/committee/campaign that was initiated and is staffed by the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. The steering committee group includes C.I.C.L.E. (which I work for and which you should all become members of! end shameless plug), Green L.A. Coalition, and Community Arts Resources.

I'm soooo down with you in Echo Park!! This is the best news I've heard all day!! Hope we actually can do it - and how about for world health day in March? Let's be a part of the global movement to make our cities better http://www.who.int/world-health-day/2010/en/index.html

Bobby and Steven from cicLAvia made a presentation last night at the East Hollywood Neighborhood Council's Outreach Committee meeting, which the committee voted to recommend to the EHNC's governing board to vote to endorse at our upcoming meeting on Monday, November 16 at Kingsley Manor.

The plan is to have cicLAvia span between two communities as a pilot project, so if East Hollywood is down, who's with us? Silver Lake? Los Feliz?

Damien,

Think a big community showing out there of all the Ciclovia/Summer Streets/etc films could help put it over the top? We can get something to you pronto.

Chicago just did so, and they are on their way to what looks like more Ciclovias.

A) It'll never happen.

B) Where are all the people? That photo shows some half dozen. MacArthur Park is already a well traveled area by foot and bike.

With the marathon organizers canceling the annual LA Bike Tour, purportedly to reinvent the ride out as a world-class, stand-alone event, the CycLAvia might be a great opportunity for them to get behind.
