Nonprofit Builds Community on Wheels
CICLAVIA, INSPIRED BY BOGOTÁ'S LA CICLOVÍA, transforms select Los Angeles streets into vibrant community spaces during scheduled events throughout the year. CicLAvia is dedicated to reshaping how locals perceive and use their streets, envisioning them as inclusive public domains where everyone can experience safety and belonging.
During CicLAvia's open street events, roads are temporarily closed to vehicular traffic, inviting Angelenos to explore these corridors as expansive urban parks. The ethos is simple: participation is free and open to all. Whether walking, running, biking, strollering, wheeling or skating, attendees enjoy the freedom to explore urban thoroughfares while interacting with their community.
These events are not mere street closures: they also host multiple activities such as street games, local business showcases and art exhibitions suitable for all age groups. By encouraging a shift away from car-centric routines, CicLAvia promotes healthier lifestyles while creating a deeper connection with the urban landscape. Moreover, it stands as a celebration of Los Angeles' rich tapestry of cultures, emphasizing unity in diversity across the region. CicLAvia's events serve as impactful moments sparking a movement that fosters healthier, more engaged communities.
