Ever wanted to walk or bike down some of City Terrace’s most iconic avenues or catch breathtaking views of downtown from the hills of East L.A. — all on car-free streets?
Camino City Terrace, an event modeled after CicLAvia, is your chance.
On Dec. 13 and 14, about 1.6 miles of East LA roads will be open to pedestrians, cyclists, joggers and runners of all skill levels. The event is organized by L.A. County in partnership with Metro.
Several streets will be closed, and organizers are recommending specific parking locations for residents affected by the closures.
