It’s Broke; Fix It
Re “Glendale Blvd. Traffic Fix Back in Slow Lane,” July 12: All of the solutions offered will do little to really solve the traffic problems on Glendale Boulevard. There is a de facto freeway running through Echo Park because the freeway proposed was never built. Although extending the freeway all the way to Beverly Hills is impractical, why not extend it just down to the Hollywood Freeway between Rampart and Alvarado? Blocking construction of a freeway just because you don’t want it in your neighborhood doesn’t stop the traffic. It just moves it to the surface streets, destroying the very neighborhood the residents were trying to save.
