Map: CicLAvia Hits The Streets Of The Valley For The First Time

CicLAvia is spreading its wings throughout the city. They'll be hosting their very first route through the San Fernando Valley on March 22.
The event—which is basically a block party that shuts down streets to motorized traffic and encourages folks to bike, walk and skate through the roads—will give folks a chance to explore roads between North Hollywood and Studio City from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Some of the highlights include checking out North Hollywood Arts District, Universal City, the historic Campo de Cahuenga, Studio City Farmers Market and the historic Sportsmen’s Lodge.
There will be a five-mile path that runs on Lankershim Boulevard between the North Hollywood Metro Red Line stop at Chandler Boulevard and the Universal Studio Red Line. Then it curves and runs along Ventura Boulevard between Campo de Cahuenga and Coldwater Canyon.
This time around, Metro has helped fund this SFV route of CicLAvia, as well as the upcoming ones in Pasadena on May 31 and Culver City/Venice on Aug. 9. Also, coming up in October (a hard date to come soon), is the popular Heart of LA route.

And if you want to get a head start at checking part of the route before it takes place in a couple of months, CicLAvia is hosting a "Noshing in NoHo" walking and food tour from 10:30 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
