The stretch of road between Griffith Park Drive from Travel Town to the Griffith Park Composting FacilityOn Thursday the Board of Recreation and Parks Commission voted to extend the closure indefinitely. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, whose district includes Griffith Park, said"This is the start of a series of transit improvements our office is facilitating throughout Griffith Park, to ensure the park is a safe and welcoming place for all who use it."
The closure was also implemented to deter commuters from using Griffith Park Drive as an alternate route to the 5 and 134 freeways. Many argued that the traffic made the area dangerous for cyclists, equestrians, hikers, pedestrians, park visitors and wildlife.
