The City of Pasadena welcomes everyone to participate in CicLAvia—Pasadena today from 9am to 3pm. Presented in partnership with the nonprofit CicLAvia and funded in part by Metro, the event will temporarily close sections of Pasadena’s streets. Furthermore these will be converted into car-free zones for community enjoyment, walking, biking, rolling, and gathering.

The 2.7-mile CicLAvia route includes Colorado Boulevard (Pasadena Avenue to Allen Avenue) and Raymond Avenue (Pacific Alley to Dayton St), forming a seamless corridor through Old Pasadena, Playhouse Village, South Lake Avenue, and connecting Metro’s Memorial Park and Del Mar Stations. Cars will be permitted to cross at six (6) key intersections across the CicLAvia route. Two (2) activity hubs with community programming, services, and activities are located at Memorial Park and at Colorado Boulevard and Allen Avenue. Hubs offer free family-friendly activities, restrooms, free water refilling stations, free basic bike repair, bike parking, places to sit and meet up with friends and family, and first aid. Also free pedicab rides are available at each hub’s information booth. Plus the city will be setting up dedicated ‘pop-up’ bike lanes, known as ‘Slow Streets’ – look for the signs.
