Pasadena is preparing to host a car-free event this weekend, closing a 2.7-mile street stretch for the latest edition of CicLAvia, as a local news report described.
The event is scheduled to run from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon Sunday. Ahead of the street closures, a kickoff news conference is planned for eight thirty Sunday morning at the Memorial Park Hub.
Mayor Victor Gordo and Supervisor Kathryn Barger are expected to attend the morning conference, according to a local news report. Mayor Gordo told a local news report that "CicLAvia is a wonderful opportunity to bring our community together, celebrate Pasadena’s vibrant neighborhoods, and experience our streets in a new way."
He also told a local news report that "By opening our streets to people walking, biking, and rolling, we create more opportunities to connect with one another, support local businesses, and enjoy all that makes Pasadena such a special place to live, work, and visit."
This weekend's gathering marks the sixty-ninth open-streets program organized by CicLAvia organizers. While the main route will be closed to regular traffic to accommodate those participating in the event, vehicles will still be allowed crossing the route at six specific intersections along the path.
The 2.7-mile street stretch closed for CicLAvia-Pasadena will provide a large space for the event scheduled from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon Sunday. The kickoff news conference at eight thirty Sunday morning at Memorial Park Hub will precede the main activities. Mayor Victor Gordo and Supervisor Kathryn Barger are expected at the conference, as noted by a local news report. The sixty-ninth open-streets program for CicLAvia organizers brings these officials together at the Memorial Park Hub before the event begins at nine in the morning Sunday.
During the hours of the event, running until three in the afternoon Sunday, the 2.7-mile street stretch closed for CicLAvia-Pasadena will be entirely dedicated to the open-streets programming, except for vehicles allowed crossing the route at six specific intersections. These six specific intersections where vehicles are allowed crossing the route provide managed access across the 2.7-mile street stretch closed for CicLAvia-Pasadena while the event scheduled from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon Sunday is underway. Mayor Victor Gordo and Supervisor Kathryn Barger are expected at the conference to launch the day's proceedings alongside the kickoff news conference at eight thirty Sunday morning at Memorial Park Hub, marking a notable milestone as the sixty-ninth open-streets program for CicLAvia organizers.
