UPDATE: The first significant rain fell after the drainage construction project between 28th & 29th on Speedway at Washington - and we are happy to report that you don’t need a pair of waders to walk through the alley. Speedway is plagued by many areas that suffer significant flooding and pooling whenever it rains, making pedestrian traffic impassable and vehicle passage challenging. Catamaran on the Peninsula, and North Venice along Speedway are flooded today, but the significant lake that typically existed along Speedway at Washington is completely drained. Thank you City of LA!

After even a light rain, many areas on Speedway, just a half of one block from the beach flood to a point that impedes pedestrian traffic through the alley. The City of Los Angeles began construction Feb 1st on a two week project to repave two areas near the area of Speedway and Washington and install new fluid exit drains. The new cement areas in the road will divert water into two new large drains. This will temporarily divert traffic down speedway during phases of the construction.
