Reminds me of that Doctor Who episode with the underground highway. This is just the early version.

I visited LA two years ago for a week and walked over that bridge, and the experience is so burned into my brain that I recognized it immediately

In time there will be massive structural issues caused by water and tree roots.

The way the first 40 feet above ground are completely dedicated to car infrastructure, the first level for human activity is this artificial platform in the sky lol

I love that hotel but the area around itβ¦ yeah π If you come to Little Tokyo itβs a lot more pedestrian friendly!

But the walk from Union Station to Little Tokyo is so unpleasant. Is there a subway stop there?(yes, I can look it upβ¦.)

Yes! It's a very short ride but the little Tokyo station is great

Cool. Should have looked for that last time. We had a layover waiting for the SW Chief (before we discovered that changing trains in Fullerton is better) and walked over.

Stayed right on that block for a work trip. The design is bonkers and pedestrian hostile

Was there last year, trying to walk back from an event to get to hotel was challenging.

That was me too. Its a mess of escalators and elavators

Tried to walk back to the Westin in Oct 23, and ended up on sidewalks that disappeared on those off- and on-ramps. Ran like hell to safer path, then discovered the 5th floor skybridges the next day. Do try the sushi place Te Isshoku, hidden in the Bunker Hill steps up from LAPL.
