Talk:Sepulveda Boulevard

message: When was Sepulveda Blvd Built?  I see it on the 1949 map of San Fernardo Valley, but not on the 1924 map.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.255.10 (talk) 23:20, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I just added a "Popular Culture" section so that mention could be made that the street is referenced in the song Pico and Sepulveda.  As for car cruising and roller skates, it you can find the references, add them in!  Primogen (talk) 22:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

message: There probably should be a mention of Sepulveda carrying a portion of State Route 7 for a chunk of the 20th Century; I'd add something myself but the only thing I have access to right now is this self-published page. Mapsax (talk) 00:50, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I do not see any sources saying the Sepulveda Blvd. that starts at Willow and SR 103 overlaps with SR1 as PCH to LAX as a continuation. It looks like a separate street with the same name but no real connection. If it is true historically a source will be needed to add it back. Someone in SoCal Area (talk) 00:40, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, so with some research and google maps, I learned that Sepulveda Boulevard was changed to PCH in 2018 in El Segundo, CA but still has the name in Manhattan Beach to CA 91. However, I still don't see the connection to the other street from Willow/SR 103 to before Torrance Blvd. as Camino Real. Someone in SoCal Area (talk) 19:48, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

text: I have already read those articles. The placesearth one is not a reliable source and is also self-published so it's a non-starter. The author even breaks his own rule to try to shoe-horn in the connection. It's also romanticizing the street by making one think it extends very deep into Orange County which was not originally true as Willow Street ended at Cherry Ave before being extended to connect with Katella Ave sometime in the 1960s. Historicaerials.com can confirm that. While the LA Times is a reliable source, the article doesn't really say the 2 streets are connected just that it starts again later. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if at one time these routes names Sepulveda Blvd. were once connected but there needs to be a reliable source showing this connection.  I have been trying to find them but haven't found a decent one yet. This 1939 map suggests Sepulveda from Willow reaches all the way to what is now CA 1 but does not look like it curved up Camino Real and turned west on Torrance Blvd. It's looks more likely the right-of-way was demolished for housing and it's still not clear if it's a direct connection plus the map is not considered a complete RS. Again a reliable source is needed showing a once fully-connected route but it's likely in archives somewhere. So until then, there's no source with clinching evidence that these routes were connected. I am looking though. Someone in SoCal Area (talk) 21:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sepulveda Blvd. "Overlap" 

message: Picture from the LA Public Library's digital collection. It notes this removed segment was at the time called the "boulevard of death" due to so many fatalities in the years leading up to the closure. I think this should be enough but would like someone to confirm first. I do not think the photo can be added to the article but using it to source with its description would finally give us this connection. Someone in SoCal Area (talk) 16:04, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the source. I wonder if the picture is fair use to put in the article. I'll let someone more familiar with images to decide on that. Someone in SoCal Area (talk) 20:02, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
