Last week's car free party on 7.5 miles of Los Angeles streets -- aka CicLAvia! -- was such a success, there are talks of bringing it back at the City Council level -- after all, the route went through five political city districts -- and within the nonprofit that organized the event.

While people are hoping for the arrival of Ciclovía (that's seek - low - VEE - uh) here in Los Angeles, San Francisco today announced its 2010 Sunday Streets schedule, which takes place along different thoroughfares throughout the year. SFist explains: "Sunday Streets, for those of you who don't know, is a day when a main thoroughfare in SF closes off to vehicle traffic.

"Over the years, a culture developed around these gigantic street parties. Citizens literally pack the streets taking their bikes, joining group exercises and dances or just taking a walk free from the interference of the automobile." more ›
