The CicLAmini Returns with its More Pedestrian-Oriented Experience Featuring 1.16-Miles of
Open Streets Along Broadway Between Ave 18 and Lincoln Park Ave – Free for All!
Sunday, September 15, 2024; 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Come experience a more pedestrian-oriented car-free open streets experience at CicLAvia’s 55th Open Streets event on Sunday, September 15; between 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. with CicLAmini–Lincoln Heights. The public is invited to enjoy this compact neighborhood route as a pop-up park for the day within Lincoln Heights along Broadway between Ave 18 and Lincoln Park Ave. For all ages and abilities, CicLAmini–Lincoln Heights offers walkers, joggers, bikers, roller skaters, and those who simply want to play with one’s favorite people-powered way to enjoy this 1.16-mile unique “pop-up park”. Always free, CicLAvia participants just show up anywhere along the route at any time to enjoy the open streets and to take the time to explore this the oldest suburb of Los Angeles. Lincoln Heights has been at the center of the city’s history for nearly 150 years. First subdivided in 1873 as East Los Angeles, it was carved out of the 17,000-plus acres of the old Spanish pueblo by developers seeking to create a middle-class residential neighborhood.
Activity Hubs
CicLAmini – Lincoln Heights includes two Hubs filled with plenty of activities and programs located at each end of the route. The Hubs are walking zones (mandatory bike dismounts) and meeting points featuring activities, street games, local business engagements, and art and cultural activities for all ages. CicLAvia encourages participants to jog, walk, ride, skate, and bike along the open space. Free pedicab rides, sponsored by AARP, are also available next to each information booth to ensure that everyone, regardless of age or ability, are able to enjoy open streets. Please visit the CicLAvia website for updates regarding local gems, additional activities and specials offered by local businesses along the route.
CicLAminis have been a popular addition to our program,” says CicLAvia Executive Director Romel Pascual. “The Lincoln Heights CicLAmini will be in one of the city’s most historic neighborhoods, and will provide an opportunity to connect with vibrant small businesses and cultural gems along the 1.6 mile route. CicLAvia’s 2024 season has been full of joy and connection with our communities and to each other. And CicLAminis, with a slower, more pedestrian-oriented experience, reintroduces us to the things that make our city special.”
Join the Movement
Inspired by Bogotá’s weekly ciclovía, which is celebrating its 50th year anniversary, CicLAvia has been temporarily closing streets to car traffic and opening them as public parks in Los Angeles since 2010. CicLAvia car-free streets connect all of us to the neighborhoods where we live, work, shop, learn, and play. Active participants at CicLAvia use people-powered mobility to navigate public streets in a safe and joyful way. Along the way there is shopping at local businesses, access to cultural and architectural gems, using open streets as spaces to connect with each other, and making a positive impact on the environment by creating a more sustainable and climate resilient city and region. Over the past 13-plus years CicLAvia has helped communities re-imagine a greener and cleaner Los Angeles, while also promoting equitable transportation options, healthier lifestyles, and closer connections to community.
