The following is a message to the community from Fred Rosen:
The inconvenience to our community in closing Sunset Blvd this weekend is being brought to you through the efforts by Metro and UCLA who continually act in a way that is adverse to the interest of our community and Sherman Oaks Community. Both UCLA and Metro know that there aren't adequate funds for a tunnel and how our community is strongly against this option for this project. The person who is leading this effort at UCLA is Michael Beck, Vice Chancellor (310) 825-8401. Feel free to contact Michael and let him know what you think of his advocacy in this matter and thank him for inconveniencing all of us this weekend.
