 Denver’s First Ciclovia
August 14th, 2011
23rd Avenue, Park Hill, Denver
10am – 2pm

Viva Streets is a one-day celebration that’s made possible when a major Denver street is returned to the people.  On August 14, LiveWell Colorado and BikeDenver will transform 23rd Avenue between City Park at Colorado Boulevard and Fred Thomas Park in Stapleton into a car-free parkway for all Denverites to enjoy.  The streets will be closed to cars and will come alive with walkers, bikers, runners, strollers, hoola-hoopers, dancers, paraders, musicians, healthy food purveyors and anyone wanting to play in the streets for the day.  It’s a tribute to the power of our city’s streets–to get people moving, to bring neighbors together, and to strengthen Colorado’s healthy, active culture.

What is a “Ciclovia”?
This type of event is traditionally called a “ciclovia,” a Spanish term meaning “bike parkway,” but which has been adopted recently by cities across the world to describe one-day street closure  events to foster physical activity and civic pride. Portland, San Francisco, Madison, New York, Los Angeles and others all hold several ciclovias each summer, attracting upwards of 25,000 people to each event.  The original ciclovia was conceived in Bogata in the 1980’s as a response to traffic congestion—Bogota still holds a 70-mile route ciclovia each Sunday.

The Route
23rd Avenue will be closed to cars from City Park at Colorado Boulevard to Fred Thomas Park in Stapleton between 10am – 2pm.  The street will be a seamless route for bikers and pedestrians to flow up and back between parks.  See map.
