With the Dodgers refusing to pay for a Dodger shuttle and most fans unwilling to give up their cars, there is very little chance Echo Park residents will ever get a break from game day traffic (though a lousy season certainly does wonders for traffic flow). Here is some advice and comments from residents about dodging Dodger traffic:
“I have no tips, short cuts or advice since I live on Lilac Terrace at the mouth of the stadium and we are essentially trapped. People park on our street to avoid paying to park at the stadium and walk en mass down the middle of the street as if it were a sidewalk. They throw their garbage in front of our yards and act like it’s a block party. The only thing that has helped is a few years ago we petitioned and made upper and lower Lilac one way streets in opposite directions so they don’t play “chicken” with us anymore since the street is too narrow to pass. My neighbor Victor is working on a petition to have Residential Parking Permits for our streets but alas we are not there yet.” – Rhonda
