Oaklavía (pronounced ohk-la-VEE-ah) is Oakland’s Open Streets Initiative modeled after “Ciclovia”, which originated in Bogotá, Colombia. It is a movement that has spread around the world from Tokyo to Kiev, and to cities throughout the US as a day to enjoy free health- and community-oriented events on city streets temporarily closed to auto traffic.
Open street events such as Oaklavía offer a way to support local businesses, provide a space for safe and comfortable exercise and a chance for community members to experience their city in a new and unique way. Since 2010, WOBO has brought Oaklavia to neighborhoods surrounding Downtown, Uptown, Emeryville, and Lake Merritt.
