CicLAvia Introduces Iconic Wilshire Boulevard Route for June 23rd Open Streets Festival

We just got word that CicLAvia has announced the route for CicLAvia VII: Iconic Wilshire Boulevard. The event runs a record 7 hours, from 9 am to 4 pm. The route runs a cool 6.3 miles from Wilshire and Grand in Downtown Los Angeles to Wilshire and Fairfax, just a couple of blocks from the historic 3rd Street Farmers Market.

This CicLAvia is signifgantly different than the other events for a couple of reasons.

For the first time, CicLAvia has a pair of pedestrian only zones for a couple of blocks at each end of the event.

Additional hubs include MacArthur Park, Koreatown and Mid-Wilshire.

There are only four car crossings for the 6.3 mile route

As mentioned above, the event runs for a record seven hours
