Central City Action Committee, which is a nonprofit organization here in Echo Park, is in dire need or repairing its facility’s broken elevator. The facility, which is the old fire station on Edgeware in Angelino Heights, is two stories and needs this elevator!

CCAC handles all the graffiti removal in the neighborhood and also organizes after school activities for our neighborhood youth. Funds are tight with city budget cuts, so now is the time to support this great program through their upcoming Zumbathon event.

Road closures in Echo Park for Ciclavia

Ciclavia

For the first time since its start in Los Angeles four years ago, CicLAvia (a free, open streets event in which streets are closed in favor of bicycles and pedestrians) will be coming to Echo Park this Sunday.

The No Parking signs are already posted for the street closures along Glendale Boulevard and Bellevue, just south of Echo Park Lake. At the corner of Glendale and Bellevue is the “Echo Park Hub,” where there will be a DJ, a KPCC booth and food trucks like Fluff Ice, the Grilled Cheese Truck and Mandoline Grill.

Ciclavia will speak Thursday night at the Echo Park Improvement Association Town Hall on the street closures and what else to expect. The major concern with the event is cyclists making their way into Echo Park Lake, where skating and cyclists are not allowed.

The meeting will be held at Barlow Hospital in Williams Hall at 7:00 pm. All are welcome.
