Wilshire Boulevard Near MacArthur Park May Be Closed To Traffic
Wilshire Boulevard may no longer allow a straight shot to downtown L.A. from the west side.
City leaders have proposed eliminating vehicles on a stretch of Wilshire Boulevard bisecting MacArthur Park. Over the coming year, planners will study ways to permanently shut down that portion of road. The idea is to reunite the two areas of greenery bisected by Wilshire.
