Intrastate 101 to get Capped

The Unsightly

Like New York City’s Central Park, Hollywood is getting its version….with a twist.  With the 101 freeway barralling through so many neighborhood, its a neccesary park of our citys infrastructure.  Do we really have to look at it?  Part of it won’t be in the near future.

Green & Brown Make… 

With so little out door space and designated Park land in the “flats” of Hollywood, the city decided Hollywood Central Park  would be created.  With its near 24 acres starting from probably from Bronson exit to Western exit, this project is a street level park which is slated for an amputheatre, police sub-station, and plenty of green area for the over (est.) 80,000 residents and (est.) 21,000 children who live within 1 square mile of the 101 freeway. 

The Effect

It is estimated that preliminary costs to plan and construct the Park are estimated to be less than the cost of purchasing the raw land in the surrounding neighborhood.  Good news since there is so little raw land and many of the current above ground parking lots are already claimed for redevelopment.
