The Dodgers World Series parade will shut down multiple streets and freeway on and off-ramps. Officials say the fastest way to get to and around downtown Los Angeles is to take public transportation.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to flood the streets of downtown L.A., and Mayor Karen Bass is asking Angelenos who work downtown to work remotely Monday to accommodate the massive crowd.
At a news conference to announce the city’s preparedness plans, Bass said more than 200,000 people attended last year’s World Series parade in the city, and even more are expected this year.
The Dodgers World Series parade will shut down multiple streets and freeway on and off-ramps. Officials say the fastest way to get to and around downtown Los Angeles is to take public transportation.
Authorities are urging attendees to take public transit or park far away from the parade route, where it will be “easy to exit on your way out.”
Police said road closures near the route will start between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department later said closures would begin as early as 4 a.m., and encouraged fans to gather along the longest stretch of the parade route on Grand Avenue.
“If you’re not a Dodgers fan, it could be a long day. But it could always be worse. You could be a Blue Jays fan,” the Los Angeles Police Department posted Sunday morning on X “GO DODGERS.”
