Get that ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) or Stumpjumpin’ MTB out… it’s time for a drive/ride down poor dilapidated Girffith Park Boulevard. Once a beautiful drive between Sunset Boulevard to Griffith Park.
Todays journey is between Silverado Boulevard to Tracy Street.
This is about 15% to 20% the length of GPB… with about 40+ major issues with the pavement. That could easily calculate to over 160 obstacles to maneuver when traveling the full length of this once proud drive. Perfect for military training in hostile territories!




Is it a Multi-Media Art Piece… or is it Griffith Park Boulevard? And how many folks have either tripped or stumbled (besides myself) while crossing the treacherously uneven Pavement. Nannies and Mom’s alike are unable to use strollers on either the street or sidewalk.. it’s just too rough for the strollers made in China!


Being a cyclist myself…. I have to drive my bike by car the 2 miles from my Silverlake home to Griffith Park. GPB has given me 2 flats in as many weeks riding on the BIKE LANE. BIKE LANES are generally added to add safety for a bicyclist, but not on GPB… safer riding down the middle of the street.




Perhaps cars and trucks should learn how to jump and leap over crevasses is they use GPB?


Why this contractor would leave his stamp in this sub-par patch is beyond me.




Several fellow Silverlakians have mentioned that perhaps the street is kept intentionally crappy. No need for speed bumps and keeps traffic to a minimum. Hmmm… sound like crack-pot thinking to me.
