CicLAvia's April 15, 2012 Route Announced!

Get your bicycle bells tuned up, because CicLAvia is back on April 15, and today the route map makes its debut.
It includes the basic 10.10.10 route through East Hollywood, Koreatown, Westlake, Downtown L.A., Little Tokyo, and Boyle Heights - plus the new extensions that premiered last time: north to El Pueblo, and south to Fashion District and Central Avenue.
The organization admits that while they were looking to expand the coverage for April, they also wanted to not bite off more than they could chew, so expect more expansion when the event happens again October 14. They're already talking about possibly expanding to areas like Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights, Chinatown, and extending further into South Los Angeles.
Support for LAist comes from
For the uninitiated, CicLAvia is an event when a segment of L.A. city streets are closed for one day to motor vehicle traffic and open to pedestrians and cyclists. The events have been well-attended and well-received, and have been taking place in the spring and fall since its debut in October 2010.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
