Your One Stop CicLAvia Activity Planner

Well, it’s finally here.  Sunday is CicLAvia!  Most people that read Streetsblog regularly already know how to have fun in the streets, as evidenced above. That makes it contingent on us to welcome anyone who appears to be playing in the street for the first time.

Joe Linton helpfully provides some links to activities happening around the CicLAvia area and beyond on Sunday.  Just click on the link…:

    What Can CicLAvia Learn from Sunday Streets

    By Damien Newton |
    After a hard weekend at Transportation Camp, I set off for Sunday Streets, San Francisco’s version of CicLAvia.  While we were walking down the center of the street in Embarcadero, we ran into Stephen Villavaso, one of the Board Members and brain children of CicLAvia.  We chatted for a couple of minutes about how great […]

    CicLAvia: Chinatown Route Will Be Open on Sunday

    By Damien Newton |
    After two days of discussion, CicLAvia announced this afternoon that the spur through Chinatown will be open on Sunday, but could see hours cut short if traffic to the Dodgers playoff game proves to be overwhelming the local street grid. Flying Pigeon L.A. reported that the hub could be cut completely, but that was not […]

On Sunday April 15th 2012, about 100,000 Angelenos will experience what L.A. streets can be when we just remove a few pesky automobiles. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last couple years, watch these earlier Streetfilms to get a sense […]

    Streetfilms: CicLAvia Is…

    By Damien Newton |
    In a city that has defined itself by both cars and status symbols, CicLAvia is more than a seven and a half mile street party with a funny name, it’s one of the many signs that Los Angeles is changing and one’s status is not represented by the car that one owns. But for the […]
