Yesterday, we posted about a possible upcoming ObamaJam today due to a presidential visit. Here is an update: Not to worry Drivers were warned Sunday to expect presidential motorcades across a broad swath of the Westside during Monday afternoon’s rush hour, as Barack Obama plans to cross from Westwood to the Beverly Hills area. Los Angeles police warned that Air Force One will touch down at LAX between 4 and 5 p.m. Monday, possibly closing streets in the World Way West area, near Playa del Rey. Although exact plans were not released, the president will apparently follow past patterns and…
Various websites are indicating that President Obama will be landing at LAX and going to various Westside sites for fundraising on Monday afternoon. The sites appear to be in Beverly Hills and Hancock Park, so not immediately in the UCLA vicinity. However, to the extent there is travel at or near the 405… Well, you know.

Somewhere on Sunset Blvd. in 1905 Yours truly, in driving back from UCLA last night on Sunset Blvd., noted a sign saying the area around the 405 would be closed 10 pm tonight until 6 am tomorrow. (It also said the closing would happen last night but it is too late to warn about that event.)
From the Westwood-Century City Patch: Good news about traffic on Sunset Boulevard near the 405 Freeway! (Yes, you read that right — there’s good news about traffic on the Westside.) Starting tomorrow, LADOT will begin changing the signaling and striping at one of the more congested intersections in the area, allowing drivers exiting the 405 Freeway more time to make a right on red from southbound Church Lane to westbound Sunset. Currently, there is a “No Right Turn on Red” sign at the intersection, significantly contributing to the maddening traffic bottleneck we all endure. This small change is expected to…

Back in December 2011, commuters on the 405 Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass drove by an unusual sight. A retaining wall built for the new car-pool lane was collapsing, the gray concrete panels visibly buckling and falling. Alarmed by the discovery, construction crews tore down the wall. At least 14 other walls also came down and were rebuilt. State officials moved quickly, banning the construction of similar retaining walls throughout California. Today, the 405 Freeway project is more than 15 months behind schedule, a timeline that has Angelenos bemoaning the traffic congestion caused by construction of the 10-mile car-pool lane. …
