YAROSLAVSKY ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF HOLLYWOOD BOWL SHUTTLE PROGRAM

Board of Supervisors Chairman Zev Yaroslavsky has announced that the Board of Supervisors has approved the continuation of the program for park-and-ride and shuttle service to the Hollywood Bowl from 15 area parking lots throughout the County for the 2002 summer season.

"I invite all concertgoers to take full advantage of the public transportation available for these performances, so we can ease traffic congestion near the Bowl, conserve energy and cut down air pollution," Yaroslavsky said.

Yaroslavsky noted that the Board-approved program to ease traffic congestion and provide low-cost transportation for residents of the County to the Hollywood Bowl was launched 28 summers ago.

Riders will be charged $2.50 each way from remote lots and $3.00 round trip from nearby parking lots, while parking at the lots is free.  Last year, Yaroslavsky said, almost 25 percent of the people attending Bowl programs used the shuttle service.

Each park-and-ride and shuttle lot will be protected by a uniformed Los Angeles Philharmonic guard. In addition to shuttle fares, the program is funded in part by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and in part by Proposition A funds administered by the County Department of Public Works.

Three shuttle lots in the Third District have been selected:

  • CAHUENGA WEST LOT: 3400 Cahuenga Blvd. West between Universal Center. Dr. and Barham Blvd.

  • HOLLYWOOD/LA BREA AVENUE: On La Brea Avenue between Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard

  • VENTURA LOT ANNEX: 10601 Ventura Blvd.

Currently identified park-and-ride sites in the Third Supervisorial District:

  • SANTA MONICA:   Rand Corporation, 1700 Main Street, south parking lot

  • SHERMAN OAKS: Sunkist Building, 14130 Riverside Dr. in Sherman Oaks

  • VENTURA BOULEVARD: North side of Ventura Blvd. between Vineland Ave. and Lankershim Blvd.

  • WESTWOOD:  At the Federal Building, 11000 Wilshire Blvd. in Westwood, off Veteran Avenue.
