reallocate CicLAvia\u2019s money<\/a> to pay for more fan zones during the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\u201cAs a lifelong biker and native Angeleno, I know how important open street events like CicLAvia are to our city and the L.A. region. I\u2019ve participated in many CicLAvias over the years, in neighborhoods all across Los Angeles,\u201d Bass said. \u201cThe way these events bring people together, support local businesses, and help us reimagine public spaces in the second-largest city in the country, while fostering a sense of community, is something to be proud of \u2014 and something we must protect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bass added that she implores Metro to find dedicated funding through 2028 to ensure these events continue with full force and she personally asked Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins to find more creative funding sources to ensure these events continue to benefit all L.A. residents.<\/p>\n
Alongside Bass, L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath urged Metro to find the funding to keep CicLAvia and Open Streets alive if they wish to take sustainable transportation and reduced traffic seriously.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of CicLAvia, we are especially grateful to Mayor Karen Bass for her leadership, and to LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who has been a steadfast champion for open streets,\u201d CicLAvia executive director Romel Pascual said on Thursday, thanking both for their support of the organization and its events.<\/p>\n
