Local Residents Want Answers About 405 Closure

Valley residents would like Metro officials to hear their questions, concerns about the planned freeway closure at a local forum.

Many residents of Valley neighborhoods who will be affected by the planned closure of the 405 Freeway next month say they have questions that are not being answered by Metro, the agency in charge of the freeway widening project.

So far, there has been no community meeting at which Metro officials can answer questions from Valley residents about the freeway closure, which is scheduled for July 16-17.

A May 26 meeting in Westwood about the 53-hour closure generated a large number of questions and complaints. Check it out in this video report from Sherman Oaks Patch Editor Doug Kriegel.
