LOS ANGELES Major streets will be closed Monday to accommodate immigrant rights demonstrations, according to the Los Angeles Department of Transportation.
The first march from Broadway and Olympic Boulevard to City Hall from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. will have Broadway closed from Temple Street to 11th Street, prohibiting east-west traffic.
Drivers are encouraged to use Alameda Street, Figueroa Street, Flower Street and Cesar Chavez Avenue to circumvent the Broadway closure.
Another demonstration along Wilshire Boulevard from Alvarado Street to La Brea Avenue will run from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Wilshire Boulevard will be closed from Alvarado to Cloverdale Avenue from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Vermont, Normandie, Western, Wilton, Highland and La Brea avenues will be open to north-south traffic until 3:45 p.m.
Traffic will reopen as the march proceeds down Wilshire Boulevard after the streets are closed at 3:45 p.m.
Wilshire Boulevard traffic will be diverted onto Third Street in the north and Olympic Boulevard in the south.
The Department of Transportation will aggressively enforce temporary parking restrictions in place for the march.
Dash service routes A, B, D and the City Hall shuttle will be affected and may be rerouted as necessary.
Metro bus service on Broadway and Hill streets in downtown will be interrupted from 10:30 a.m. through 12:30 p.m. Buses normally operating on those north-south streets will operate on Spring or Main streets between Pico Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Avenue. Routes affected by the downtown protest include lines 2, 4, 10, 11, 30, 31, 40, 42, 45, 46, 48, 740 and 745.
The second rally that begins at 4 p.m. on Wilshire Boulevard in MacArthur Park will cause Metro bus lines 20, 21 and 720 to detour along Third Street between Bixel Street and Fairfax Avenue from 2:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Northbound and southbound buses that cross Wilshire Boulevard will be interrupted. Passengers will have to exit the bus, cross the parade route and board another Metro bus on the other side.
More information can be obtained by calling Los Angeles Department of Transportation at (323) 224-6534 or the Metropolitan Transportation Authority at (800) 266-6883.
Americans have to be inconvenienced for the illegal alien
militant march, if that isn't the most stupid annoying ignorant thing I ever heard. The miscreants are threatening this nation and WE have to step aside for them?
That's ENOUGH!
DEPORT, armed guards on the border stop any more of the invaders from coming in and defiantly threatening us.
I am thoroughly sick of the..........(fill in the blank)
"Americans have to be inconvenienced for the illegal alien
militant march"

They're NOT immigrants. They're illeagals. A thief and a sales clerk might both take your money, but one is illegal and the other is ringing up a purchase. It's not the same.
Now do things like this come about and why do "we the people" put up with it?
This is called surrendering to the illegal alien puppets and their Commie string pullers.
Stuart Varney is telling MS Banderas, mexican on Fox
that the march is a DISGRACE!!
he is angry as the rest of us.
"This is wholly divisive and wholly wrong"

Closing roads for this nonsense is crazy. They ought to instead keep all the streets open and raise the speed limit for the day.
Bring on the Humvees!
Because of closed roads some people will not make it to work...this will make the boycott appear more supported than it actually is.
I truly think if people lose money because they couldn't get to work...there will be a bigger backlash than these illigals can imagine.
The TRUE working class is going to be PISSED OFF by May 2nd!
Tanks are too "Chinese" in nature - use bulldozers instead.
Take away the free ride and most illegals would go home voluntarily.
I'm not much of a leader but I wish there could be a movement to have a similar boycott on May 5th by legal Americans
This is the problem. The majority of working Americans just keep doing the right thing day after day. We don't have time or energy to organize. We have no leadership to support us or affirm us.
Our elected leaders just keep pandering to minority and special interest groups, taking our continued hard work and taxes for granted.
