What is a Cyclovia?

It is a Spanish term that means “Cycleway”. It is the closing of certain streets to automobiles for a temporary time, in order to allow cyclists, skaters and pedestrians access to local businesses on open streets. It is an event that is held globally as well as locally, such as San Diego, Pacific Beach and Chula Vista. Cyclovia Encinitas is the first and only similar open-streets event in North County.

Who is organizing Cyclovia Encinitas?

It is a partnership effort between the City of Encinitas Environmental Commission and Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission, with support from the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and Encinitas 101. The event is intended to support City Council priorities of promoting Mobility and Alternative Modes, and Environmental Health and Leadership.
