Overview

CicLAvia proposes to temporarily open 7.5 miles of streets in Los Angeles on Sunday mornings to pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, dog walkers, families, and anyone who can imagine a new way to use the street. This temporary park space will occur on Sunday mornings from 10am-1pm. The roads will be car-free, thus providing residents with a recreational space, and the opportunity to view their city from a whole new perspective. Our proposed route connects Los Angeles from East to West through some of the most densley populated neighborhoods. The route is easily accessible by transit so that residents from across LA County will be able to attend. 


Deliverables: 

7.5 miles of Car-Free Los Angeles city streets on 3 Sundays during the Summer of 2010

Ten national press mentions (already mentioned in LA Times and many other news sources including local ABC news)

$50,000 in grants

$50,000 in corporate sponsorship and donations
