- 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.

County virtual workshops conclude on Monday 4/27 focused on West Long Beach.
