Good bye mulholland
News just now announced that the hill has fallen down taking a substantial section out of Mulholland between Beaumont & Skyline.
RIP old friend.

They'll fix it.
BTW, I had no idea what this thread was about by the title. And I know all about the damage to Mulholland Dr.

CA is broke and I'm sure fixing a road in the middle of nowhere used by nobody (except some occasional rich weekenders winding out their boy toys) won't exactly be up there on CALTrans' priority list.
Too bad for sure - it was an awesome road. I've driven it many times.

"Good Bi" = the opinion of many who "swing both ways".

Why don't the "rich weekenders" pool together their funds, fix the road themselves, then CLOSE IT OFF to the public?
Seems like everyone would win then, especially the racecars

That's a good idea actually - turn it into a kind of track. I shudder to think what kind of craziness the insurance companies would demand in order to let you though. It'd still be cool, but not like it was...

By, Buy, Bye Bi & BuBie
My intended point (outside of my spelling prowess at o-dark thirty in the AM) being a Mulholland Racer from the '70's, was even if they fix it that corner, it will never be the same (you would have had to have been there).

Make it a toll road, like the Ring.
Sign your waver, pay your toll, take your chances. Might even make some money for the state. |

Sure, the causes are numerous: age, heavy trucks (from all the mansionizing up there), erosion, to name a few. But the Public Works Department of the City of L.A. seems to see no need to repave it. I can barely ride a bike up there let alone drive my Porsche on that road. It's really ridiculous: a few months ago, our residential streets were repaved when in actuality, they were fine. Meanwhile streets like Mulholland continue to decay. And it's not the only street in L.A. that's falling apart. Third Street in the mid-Wilshire area, between La Brea and Fairfax seems to be literally falling in on itself as it it's over one giant sinkhole. I really think the City excuse of "we have no money," is weak sauce in a metropolis with sub-par public transportation that as a consequence, has to depend on personal transportation. I imagine Mulholland as a great metaphor for Los Angeles: once prestigious, now old and rotting like an archaic Hollywood starlet.
