Kassandra
Word that best describe her day: Sh*t
I met Kassandra in the Montréal metro while getting back from a day with friends and since she seemed so approachable, I "risked" myself ;-) Although she made some fun of my maybe a "bit off" approach, she accepted to be part of the project!
She said her day was sh*t because she just got back from work and lately everybody was quitting or getting fired because of the hard economy. She worked at a Consulting Engineering business downtown and they had more and more trouble signing new contracts and she's been working there for 10 years so she was sad to see many friends go.
On a fun side, she told me this morning was her son's birthday so she woke up early before him to wish him happy birthday but he replied saying "that it was way too early for that".

Ramona Boulevard - LA's First Freeway
Los Angeles is famous for many things, not the least of which is the freeway system. Love them or hate them; they are a reality. I myself grew up in Echo Park, far at the north end in the Elysian Heights tracts. I always felt trapped by them. We lived just above the Golden State Freeway, which was just to the north of us, which cut us off from Frogtown and Glendale. The Glendale Freeway was within walking distance to our west, which cut us off from Silver Lake and Los Feliz. The Pasadena Freeway (Arroyo Seco Parkway) was not too far to the east in Elysian Park, which cut us off from DTLA. THE Hollywood Freeway closed the box in the south. Of course, the Glendale Freeway, California Highway 2, ended in a giant slalom that dropped onto Glendale Blvd, which, while technically a surface street, was so broad and busy it might as well have been a freeway.
Like most people, the freeways were already well established when I noticed them. As looming and lonely as I found them, I accepted them without thinking. That is until I listened to my mother. She arrived in Echo Park in 1943 when there were but two freeways, two rather short and local affairs. She and her parents gave them little notice. The Arroyo Seco Parkway was one, running from the gap between Bunker Hill and Crown Hill just at the western edge of DTLA up through Glassel Park and Highland Park to South Pasadena. This freeway was Highway 11 and is still in use, although now it is Highway 110. I have been working on a piece on the construction of that freeway. In particular, I was interested in the DTLA neighborhoods impacted by that construction.
However, as I began writing, I began by framing the story as Los Angeles's first freeway. However, as I did my homework, I realized that the Arroyo Seco Parkway was not the first freeway. Really that honor belongs to the Ramona Parkway. If you have never heard of this freeway, you are hardly alone. It is rarely mentioned and, strictly speaking, no longer exists. Indeed, once I realized I needed to write about the Ramona Parkway first, researching it was a bit of a struggle before I could write about the Arroyo Seco Parkway. It could only find a few references to the Ramona Parkway. This problem is because the name kept changing. When it was first built, it was Ramona Boulevard. It ran from the Hotel Mascarel (named after the mayor of Los Angeles who owned the land in the area) on Aliso and Summit out to Garvey Avenue. Later it was renamed the Ramona Parkway, then the Ramona Freeway, or maybe part of it was a freeway and the other part of the parkway. Eventually, the San Bernardino Freeway was designed, and it incorporated parts of the Ramona Freeway, but other parts were not. The Garvey Avenue bridge over Monterey Pass Road had initially been an off-ramp from the Ramona Freeway, but it was ultimately discarded. The stretch from Mission Road out at the western edge of Boyle Heights was pretty much kept as it was. However, what is now the HOV / Diamond Lane section to the north of the San Bernardino Freeway had initially been the entirety of the Ramona Parkway. The State Street Bridge over the Diamond Lane was built in the early 1930s to get over the Ramona Parkway (there are pictures attached).
Of course, the beginning of Ramona Parkway was not really when the city cut off the hillside of the Brooklyn Heights bluffs to make room for the new lanes of Ramona Boulevard and drainage in the early 1930s. The County had laid out Ramona Boulevard before 1909. The County wanted a straighter and more direct way for horses and wagons to move across the San Gabriel Valley. There was just a collection ad hoc wagon roads and the old Spanish and Native paths. Those were fine for the technology of the time and decentralized economy. Still, moving goods directly to Los Angeles became more important as the area's economy became more centered on rail and ship exports. Ramona Boulevard was created to do that, it connected Pomona to Alhambra, and Los Angeles was just down the road a bit. However, by the late 1920s, with the advent of automobiles, the need for even more centralization of commercial transport led to the idea that Ramona Boulevard should be extended directly into DTLA.
The extension on Aliso Street in DTLA to Ramona Boulevard in Alhambra was not actually the story's beginning either. The new Ramona Boulevard was laid out next to the train tracks. A prominent stormwater channel makes sense as the road is in a natural stream bed.
However, that was only part of the new idea. The new road would not only link the old 1909 Ramona Boulevard to Aliso Street in DTLA, creating a single roadway to link the entire San Gabriel Valley to Los Angeles; the road would be laid out in an entirely different fashion. There would be no homes or businesses with frontage on the street so that no vehicles could enter or leave from the frontage, and there would be no parking or even stopping. There would be only limited access from a few arterial surface streets, and there would be a median to preclude left turns or u-turns. Indeed, stopping at all would be illegal. I have attached two pictures, Figures 5 and 6, which show a conventional arterial street in the 1930s (Cahuenga Boulevard, as it turns out) and the image of a "California Parkway." The differences were obvious and striking, even almost 100 years later.
There were probably two significant differences between the parkway of Ramona in 1932 and modern freeways; 1) there was no banking on curves, 2) the parkway was pretty much all "at grade," and the road's surface was pretty much level with the ground. In later years, freeways would often be either below grade, laid out deep in a trench, or raised on an embankment (see attached diagrams). Banking was not included in no small part because there was a speed limit of 45 miles per hour and engineers had little experience moving thousands of automobiles together in one direction at sustained high speeds. It took a few crashed cars to figure banking into road design.
It would appear that only a few houses were condemned and destroyed to make way for the new freeway. This lack of destruction was because the PE tracks and associated facilities already occupied most of the land. Making room for the comparatively narrow Ramona Freeway was not difficult. This precedent would not last, of course.
So there it is; the future of Los Angeles was there to be seen along the Arroyo de los Pozos and the Pacific Electric Railway tracks. Freeways, the way to eliminate traffic confusion!
