The Arroyo Seco Parkway between Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles will be closed to vehicle traffic for four hours Sunday.
from SAT 11:00 PM PDT until MON 10:00 PM PDT, Orange County Inland, Riverside County Mountains, San Bernardino County Mountains, San Bernardino and Riverside County Valleys-The Inland Empire, Santa Ana Mountains and Foothillswill be closed to vehicle traffic for four hours Sunday to make way for the 626 Golden Streets ArroyoFest, which will turn the heavily traveled freeway into a pedestrian and recreational corridor.
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. 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.
