The headline is indicative of something that's very, very wrong with transportation in LA.
"If you commute via Griffith Park..."
Stop it!
How did a park become an alternative to a freeway? Why is it a commuting option?
It's a park. A big park. It's the largest urban wilderness park in the US.
It has Joggers. Cyclists. Equestrians. Kids.
And speeding cars shortcutting through the park!
Wrong, wrong, very wrong!
