No road changes are needed. ... ... rush hour on Rowena Avenue in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Note the traffic, or rather lack thereof! Commuters want to add up to four lanes on this road (in front of my home), which runs by a major elementary school, a large preschool, two nursing homes, a fire station and many small shops. They claim the road is in a constant state of near gridlock. It’s a big phony scam pushed by wealthy commuters who live blocks or miles away. A woman was killed here five years ago before improvements. Now this plan puts the lives of all the school children, elderly and many other visitors on this street at risk. 

NOTES: As usual on Saturday mornings, the street was empty. Filmed closer to 11 AM, there was little traffic -- "Quite empty." This video clearly shows the struggles of shoppers and pedestrians crossing the street. Imagine how much more difficult it would be with four lanes! RIP Ashley Sandau.
