The Full Rights for Immigrants march and rally will take place on Sunday, June 24th.  Traffic impacts in the Hollywood area may be felt on any street within the area bounded by Franklin Avenue to the north, Gower Street to the east, Fountain Avenue to the south and La Brea Avenue to the west.  Any street within the specified boundaries may be closed as warranted by the size of the protest.  Since detour routes may be complex and congestion may be severe, motorists are encouraged to avoid this entire area if possible.

Protesters will assemble at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Ivar Avenue.  Assembly area street closures will consist of Hollywood Boulevard between Cahuenga Boulevard and Vine Street and will be in place by 7:00am.  Hollywood Boulevard between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive will also be closed at 7:00am for the disbanding area.  The remaining portion of the march route may be closed as early as 11:00am with the march scheduled to begin at approximately 12:00pm.  From the assembly area, the march will proceed west on Hollywood Boulevard to Cahuenga Boulevard, south on Cahuenga Boulevard to Sunset Boulevard, west on Sunset Boulevard to Schrader Boulevard, north on Schrader Boulevard to Hollywood Boulevard, and west on Hollywood Boulevard to Orange Drive where the demonstrations and speeches will take place.  Streets along the route will be reopened as soon as possible.  The event is scheduled to disband starting at 7:00pm.

While the organizers have indicated that approximately 5,000 to 10,000 participants will begin to assemble for the march at 7:00am, and will disperse at 7:00pm, many roadways in the Hollywood area will be impacted into the evening hours.  The detour routes are Franklin Avenue to the north, Fountain Avenue to the south, La Brea Avenue to the west and Gower Street to the east.

Well before the march starts, roadways surrounding the assembly and demonstration areas must be secured and all vehicles parked on the route in violation of the temporary parking prohibitions, must be towed for public safety. Parking will also be prohibited on detour routes to reduce congestion.  LADOT will aggressively enforce all temporary parking signs, beginning at 6:00am on Sunday.  It costs $70 for the citation and $150 to $185 to recover a towed vehicle.

LADOT is committed to reopening streets along the route as quickly as it is safe to do so.  We regret that we do not have sufficient staff resources available to provide individualized travel and parking information to concerned citizens.
