No road changes are needed! Thursday evening at 7:10 PM on Rowena Avenue in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Note the traffic, or rather lack thereof, even though Thursday is one of the worst traffic days of the week! 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: Here we show the Rowena and Hyperion intersection, peering down at Hyperion, which is the traffic boondoggle at the root of traffic complaints. Where is the study on how to improve Hyperion and/or the Hyperion/Rowena intersection? Otherwise it was a pleasant evening with light traffic on Rowena.
