YoshiSkySun Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 CicLAvia is an Open Streets event held in Los Angeles where streets are closed to motor vehicles and open for the public to walk, bike, and skate through the open streets. This event is planned by the nonprofit organisation CicLAvia. The event takes place this Sundays, and is open for a predetermined set of hours. This started out as a once-a-year occurrence but later expanded to four times a year. In fact, plans to have CicLAvia once a month are in the works. While it may seem primarily intended for cyclists, many people can be seen skateboarding, running, or walking down the path. Each street that is closed off is attended by traffic, and police, officers who direct the cars to alternative routes through Los Angeles, and through the various car crossing points, and volunteers who assist participants with info or aid. On some streets the traffic lights are still in service, which means the bikers and pedestrians must abide by the traffic laws. LAPD Traffic Divisions and LADOT Parking Enforcement Traffic Officers are guarding each intersection to allow ultimate safety of the community during this event. CicLAvia brings together densely populated and diverse neighborhoods through a bike route. The event now attracts over 100,000 participants and expands to connect even more neighborhoods. http://www.ciclavia.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mention EUC anywhere. And we all know that 'motor' does not apply to EUCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoshiSkySun Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Since everyone is arriving at different times, let’s connect through text messages and we can decide on a designed location to meet up. In term of parking, it is every man for themselves...refer to the map for reference points...I’ll be there at 11am, see y’all soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone to the Hollywood Reservoir ( https://www.yelp.com/map/lake-hollywood-reservoir-hollywood ) five times and each time the DWP cops that are there always kick me out because my EUC has a motor. So some places that don't allow motors do enforce this rule. It sucks because it's a great place to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No use arguing with the non-thinking DWP cops - common sense is not allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. The weather is nicer. Group turnouts have been poor lately though. I think everyone got burned out on rides, so I've been doing my own thing lately.
