2013 Motor Avenue BikeFest!!!
"The BEST CicLAvia hub I saw was the Motor Ave BikeFest" - Jonathan Parfrey, CicLAvia Board Vice President
With close to 10,000 participants riding, walking, and rolling through, our First Annual Motor Ave. BikeFest was a huge success!!! Participants ate at a dozen food trucks enjoying the freestyle bike show, multiple raffles, free beverages, and live music. We were extremely excited to see so many children out enjoying the bike festival as well as its jumpers, pony rides, and more. Motor Ave was a one of the largest and most popular destination along the CicLAvia route!!

Palms Point: "Hideous Reality"
- From Curbed LA: "An early contender for ugliest building of the decade, the awful 7-story eye sore contains 31 luxury units and some ground floor retail with a parking garage sandwiched in-between." Read more...
- The Motor Avenue Improvement Association fought this development, delaying the construction for over five years as we attempted to come to a compromise with the developer and come up with a smaller, more attractive design. This building not only does not fit the character of the existing neighborhood, but the developer also refused to contribute to the community by installing safety measures around the site.
- During construction, this project constantly endangered community members, caused two power blackouts, destroyed cars with debris, and hindered local businesses.
Second Mixed-Use Development on Motor
An example of smart growth
- Frost/Chaddock Developers recently broke ground on a new development at 3425 Motor Avenue. Read more about it in our news section.
- Curbed LA article: Motor Makeover: Second Mixed-User Starts Work in Palms
- Developers have proved to be a great community partner and have worked progressively with the Motor Avenue Improvement Association and local community to:
- Lessen the hours of construction for residents and prohibit
early-morning contruction activies.
- Repair the alleyway behind the project
- Maximize public access of proposed courtyard along Motor Ave.
The new development will have 115 apartment units.
