CicLAvia West L.A., Metro board/governance meetings, Pacific Coast Highway, and more.

- Thursday 4/23 – The full Metro board will meet to discuss and vote on various agenda items. Find agenda and staff reports at Metro Board webpage.
- Sunday 4/26 – For the first time ever, CicLAvia heads to Westwood, and new parts of West Los Angeles. The free fun family-friendly open streets event closes streets to cars, opening them to bike/walk/jog/skate/wheelchair as much or as little as you like. Event hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The 3-mile route showcases Westwood Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard. To access via Metro rail it’s a one-mile (easy) bike ride or (longish) walk from the Metro E Line Westwood/Rancho Park Station – or similar distances from stations west of Westwood: Sepulveda, Bundy, or Santa Monica’s Bergamot/26th. Find additional details at CicLAvia West L.A. event page.

Association of Governments (SCAG) will host input meetings for its Planning for Main Streets project reimagining state highway corridors that double as community main streets. The project includes SR 1 Pacific Coast Highway from the 710 to Lomita, plus outside of L.A. County: SR 18, SR 39, and SR 86. L.A. County virtual workshops conclude on Monday 4/27 focused on West Long Beach.
