On March 12, CicLAvia, in partnership with Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, hosted a dynamic panel to discuss the state of open streets in the LA region. This CivSalon was a moment to recognize how far the movement has come and the funding challenges now faced as Los Angeles prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

Powered by our dedicated staff and incredible community, CicLAvia has opened streets in Los Angeles for the 15th year. Together, we created miles of open streets, countless smiles, and moments of connection across the region. Each CicLAvia Sunday this year reminded us what’s possible when we reclaim streets as safe spaces for people to walk, roll, and gather together. 

Take a look at what we've accomplished together this year:
