Here's a quick note from the people putting on the event:
Please join us in supporting CicloSDias -- San Diego’s first-ever open streets community-wide event.
CicloSDias will open 5.2 miles of car-free streets in the heart of San Diego to pedestrians, cyclists, families, and anyone who can imagine a new way to use them.
This is an exciting opportunity for neighbors and community members to come together and enjoy open, car-free streets on Sunday, August 11th. This event supports a clean, healthy and vibrant San Diego. What’s more, ‘open street’ initiatives in other cities have proven to be a powerful catalyst, driving those cities to become more walk-able, bike-able, and transit friendly.
We are asking you to invest in San Diego with a donation to help launch CicloSDias.
The CicloSDias Steering Committee is seeking to raise the funds necessary to cover event-related expenses, including traffic re-routing and control, police, and emergency medical services, and community outreach efforts.
Please become a supporter of CicloSDias and DONATE today!
