New no-car section of road inside LA’s Griffith Park aims to block cut-through traffic
To prevent cars from using it as a commuter cut-through, a three-quarter mile section of a main road through iconic Griffith Park in Los Angeles recently was closed to private vehicle traffic.
Damian Kevitt, executive director of Streets Are For Everyone addresses the crowd at the inaugural ride in a newly named no-car section of Griffith Park Drive on Saturday, July 2, 2022. Though still a pilot program, Damian Kevitt, founder and executive director of Streets Are For Everyone , said the closed portion will be transformed into a path for active users, connecting up with Mount Hollywood Drive, which is already car-free.
The no-car ban is officially a pilot program. Advocates are hoping it becomes permanent, said Kevitt and Schneider. They support other changes that would make the park less dangerous to cyclists and equestrians, such as barriers between car lanes and cyclists and better walking and cycling access to the park.
Cyclists, pedestrians and equestrians all have stories of near-misses and some have been hit by vehicles while riding or walking. They let out a holler when the inaugural ride began shortly after 9:30 am.
