John Walker Warns of More Highway Hassles

Plan ahead, adjust your travel times, share the ride.
 
On Friday, June 22, 2012, the I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project will begin demolishing the first of eight ramps joining Wilshire Bl and the I-405 freeway. This rebuilding begins with the demolition of two ramps:
I-405 N off-ramp to Westbound Wilshire
Westbound Wilshire on-ramp to I-405 N

The contractor anticipates rebuilding these two ramps in 90 days. Reconstruction of all eight Wilshire ramps is expected to take more than one year.
 
These closures and the subsequent reconstruction of the other six Wilshire ramps are expected to create significant temporary impacts to Wilshire Bl and adjoining streets, such as Federal Av, Sepulveda Bl and Veteran Av. Sunset Bl and Santa Monica are recommended alternatives.
 
By building the new ramps, we will reduce the conflict between Wilshire Bl and the I-405 as it crosses Wilshire Bl. In turn, this should reduce backup at other north/south streets, such as Westwood Bl and Veteran Bl.

Mark you calendar now!  Also mark your calendar for the SCNC June Board meeting on Wednesday, June 20.  Our guest speaker will be our final Mayoral Candidate, Councilwoman Jan Perry.  Light Buffet is served at 6:30 with the meeting schedule to start at 7pm.  Plan on attending.  Listen and question the candidate.  It is important to have the information before you vote.

Have a Happy and Safe Memorial Day Weekend.

Sincerely,

John Walker

President, SCNC
