SNOW PLAY BLOCKS ROADS: Video taken from a fire engine on SR-2 in Wrightwood shows vehicles double parked up and down the road by people looking for a place to play in the snow.
— Southern California’s white-capped mountains may look appealing, but the traffic and double parking the snow is attracting is downright ugly.
The Wrightwood Community Services District posted a video Sunday showing gridlock on State Route 2. The video, shot from a fire engine, shows vehicles double-parked up and down the road as people play in the snow.“I’ve been up here over 20 years and yesterday was one of the worst,” said Tami Keen of the Wrightwood Community Services District Monday.
And even when the fire engine uses its sirens, the gridlock is so bad at one point that the emergency vehicle can’t get through.“This is absolutely unacceptable,” the caption on the post says. “The blatant disregard of the ‘no parking’ zones puts residents and visitors at risk.” To the west along the 5 Freeway, the Grapevine was closed Sunday by 9:30 a.m. to visitors due to the snow play area’s small parking lot filling up fast.
“Yesterday was the worst,” Sean Kensinger of Wrightwood Park Maintance told CBSLA Monday. “Just kind of a perfect storm because with school off, the New Year, and the new snow. Everybody came up.”A spontaneous day of snow play and sledding is one the pleasures of living in Southern California, but snow play areas be hard to reach before they fill up.
