MHD OTR South LA Highlight: CicLAvia

Published on: 27th June, 2022

This is another MHD Off the Record South LA Highlight where Co-Host, Chavonne Taylor, sits down with a local organization, small business, or individual doing great work in South LA. On this episode, she speaks with Tafarai Bayne, Chief Strategist for CicLAvia, a non-profit that catalyzes vibrant public spaces, active transportation, and good health through car-free streets. CicLAvia engages with people to transform our relationship with our communities and with each other. Inspired by Bogotá’s weekly ciclovía, CicLAvia temporarily closes streets to car traffic and opens them to Angelenos to use as a public park. Free for all, CicLAvia connects communities to each other across an expansive city, creating a safe place to bike, walk, skate, roll, and dance through Los Angeles County.
