Words from the Executive Director

“Our Meet the Hollywoods program is exemplary of what CicLAvia Sundays are all about,” says CicLAvia Executive Director Romel Pascual. “Locals and tourists have the opportunity to experience iconic areas that may be familiar to them, but with an unexpected twist: in the absence of cars and polluting traffic, they have the freedom and safety to walk, bike, skate and stroll at their preferred pace.”

Join the Movement Towards Sustainable Mobility in LA

Inspired by Bogotá’s weekly ciclovía, which celebrates its 50th year anniversary in 2024, 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 and access to cultural and architectural gems. Participants use open streets as spaces to connect with each other, while making a positive impact on the environment and 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, promoting equitable transportation options, healthier lifestyles, and closer connections to community.
