The road closures for this Sunday's "Mission-to-Mission" open streets event.

Open streets events aren't just limited to the city of Los Angeles, and the San Gabriel Valley is getting in on the fun. About 5.5 miles of streets in South Pasadena, Alhambra and San Gabriel will be closed for the "Mission-to-Mission" event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Sunday.
If you've been to one of CicLAvia's events — or maybe even another event put on by ActiveSGV, like last fall's ArroyoFest on the 110 Freeway — then you'll be familiar with the format. Walking, running, skating, scooting, biking and hoverboarding is all fair game as long as you do it safely. There'll also be activity hubs along the route to rest up, get water, and visit booths set up by local organizations.
The event will be Metro-accessible with a connection to the A Line in South Pasadena. And if you don't have wheels, San Gabriel Valley residents can rent an e-bike through the GoSGV program for $45 per day. E-bikes will also be available for free trial runs if you're curious about trying an e-bike out but aren't ready to commit.
The route will snake through South Pasadena, Alhambra and San Gabriel, with hubs in each city.

Since there'll be a mix of transportation modes along the route, regular safety tips apply: Yield to slower traffic, stay to the right and share the road respectfully.
If you plan on driving in the area, you won't be totally fenced in: Car crossings will be allowed at certain intersections along the route.
Street closures
For those who live or work along the route, street closures will take effect at 5 a.m. until the end of the event at 3 p.m. And if you plan on parking on one of the streets that will be closed, you'll need to move your car by midnight the night before.
This is part of a series of open streets events in the San Gabriel Valley. Their first event, held in 2017, was over three times as long, ranging from South Pasadena to Azusa. According to ActiveSGV, this is the third time they've closed streets from Mission Street to Mission Avenue.
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.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
