For the second time in history a stretch of the 110 Freeway will be closed to cars and open to pedestrians to celebrate Arroyo Fest.
The Arroyo Seco Parkway between Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles will be closed to vehicle traffic for four hours Sunday to make way for theThe festival mirrors the concept of the occasional CicLAvia events that close off various roadways around the Southland to allow pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters and others to explore the routes and neighborhood businesses.
Sunday's event is planned with the same goal, organized by Metro's Open Streets program in conjunction with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, ActiveSGV and the cities of South Pasadena, Pasadena and Los Angeles.From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sunday, the parkway will be closed on a roughly six- to seven-mile stretch from the Lincoln Heights area to Pasadena, and stretching onto Mission Street in South Pasadena to link the route with the Metro A Line's South Pasadena Station.
After the ceremony, a 10K run will be held along the closed stretch of freeway, with organizers expecting as many as 4,000 participants. Then, until 11 a.m., the closed parkway will be open to all but motor vehicles. The southbound freeway lanes will be reserved for pedestrians -- walkers, runners and wheelchair users -- while the northbound lanes will be for those on wheels, such as bikes, skateboards, skates and scooters.
“ActiveSGV and SGVCOG are excited to bring this wonderful community event back after 20 years so a whole new generation can explore the historic parkway like only once before,'' ActiveSGV Special Programs Director Wes Reutimann said in a statement.
