UCLA History: More on the 405 Closure and on UCLA Parking


The 1960 freeway planning map shown below on the left depicts the section of the 405 currently closed and just north of UCLA as still under construction then. (If you click on the map, you will see a clearer image.)

The two men shown in the other picture - taken in 1964 on campus - are screenwriter David Rayfiel (l) and director Sidney Pollack (r). The photo appeared in connection with the former's obituary last month. However, of interest is the background showing a substantial open parking area behind Royce Hall. I believe there was by then a modest charge for parking, unlike the situation when the campus first opened and parking was free shown in yesterday's posting.
