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 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.

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.
