CicLAvia touched down in Pico Union yesterday. The popular open streets festival temporarily transformed Pico Boulevard from Union Avenue to Normandie Avenue. The mile-and-a-half long event removed cars and opened streets to walking, bicycling, skating, and more.

The event was a "CiclaMini" a new slightly shorter format, designed to be more walkable and more local than the larger CicLAvia's that can span multiple communities, and sometimes multiple cities. Several thousands of people - of all ages including many families with kids - took to Pico during the event. Activity hubs and local restaurants were crowded.

The CiclaMini format is designed to appeal to people walking, and still supports plenty of people bicycling.
