Take the Dodger Stadium Transportation Survey by July 13th
The City of Los Angeles is conducting a transportation study to identify potential strategies to improve access to and from Dodger Stadium and reduce impacts on neighboring communities. The study will assess event-day and non-event day conditions across all travel modes and the impacts on surrounding neighborhoods, including Elysian Valley.
The study will issue short- and long-term recommendations based on community input and current multimodal traffic patterns involving vehicle, shuttle, transit, bike, and pedestrian travel.
Give your input! The survey is open through July 13th. Scan the QR code or go to http://bit.ly/LADOT-Dodgers for the survey. -
