That DID happen during the earthquake. Mostly, though, it was a problem because emergency vehicles from the city proper didn't have a way to get in and out of the SFV. (No one was going to work that day.)

Another reason why we should have more commuter trains, subways, and routes over the pass. What would happen if a natural disaster like this occurred (fire... earthquake??) Mobility would be FROZEN. We need more routes in and out of the city.

Agreed. I always use Laurel Canyon to get to the valley for work, but I work on Ventura near the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Ventura was backed up to Woodley, at least. Crazy.
