LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Afternoon traffic delays can be expected Tuesday when President Barack Obama makes a brief visit to Los Angeles to appear on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”.
The president is scheduled to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport at 3:25 p.m. and will be in Burbank for the show’s 4:30 p.m. taping, according to the White House.
Motorists should expect a number of street closures and congestion to accommodate the president’s motorcade, although President Obama will likely be taken to Burbank by helicopter from LAX.
Although routes or security operations surrounding presidential visits are never officially provided, the Los Angeles Police Department has provided a list of areas that motorists should try to avoid during the visit.
According to the LAPD, drivers should avoid the following areas between 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.:
• Hollywood Way and San Fernando Road
• Hollywood Way and Burbank Boulevard
• Hollywood Way and Alameda
• West Olive Avenue and Buena Vista
• Sherman Way and Hayvenhurst Avenue
• Victory Boulevard and Canoga Avenue
• Canoga Avenue and Burbank Boulevard
Since the president will be spending the night in the Southland prior to flying to Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, police have also advised motorists to avoid the following areas between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday:
• Sherman Way and Hayvenhurst Avenue
• Victory Boulevard and Canoga Avenue
• Canoga Avenue and Burbank Boulevard
Those are routes where the SS motorcade will have impact. I don’t care about that part. The thing is, Leno is going to play nice, and all this will do is short up Obama’s popularity. He gets to go there, get softballs tossed at him, and look like a rock start courtesy Jay Leno.
You nailed it.
My guess is that Leno will ask 2 ‘tough’ questions...both of which will have been approved by the King, well in advance. That way Leno looks good and Zero looks great.
Pah-thea-tic.
I’m coming from Culver into Hollywood and this clown screws up not only my life but even my driving experience.
