It’s tough to imagine Santa Monica Boulevard without a single car, but at some point in 2022 it may be filled with booths and bikes instead. At the Aug. 3 Study Session, Transportation Planner Jessie Holzer presented council members with a first look at the CicLAvia Open Streets event, a potential partnership with West Hollywood and Los Angeles to extend car-free streets all the way from East Hollywood to the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Beverly Drive for an entire Sunday in either April, May or August of next year.
Despite various concerns about parking, cost, and traffic controls, council members were enthusiastically on board.
