Notice from UCLA Events and Transportation:
This Thursday, July 23, the Special Olympics Torch Run will make its way through Westwood Village from 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. The Torch Run will begin just west of the corner of Westwood Boulevard
and Le Conte Avenue and proceed south on Westwood Blvd, turn right onto
Kinross Avenue and another right onto Broxton Avenue, and arrive at the
Torch Run Ceremony location at 1000 Broxton Avenue. For those who need
to travel through the Village during this time, it is advised to avoid
the area around Westwood Blvd and instead take Gayley Avenue as an
alternate route.
The Torch Run will create a number of traffic impacts and possible
delays in the Westwood Village area, including impacts to public transit
service. During the event, southbound Westwood Blvd will be reduced to
one lane from Le Conte to Kinross (with both northbound lanes remaining
open). Kinross Avenue (between Westwood Blvd and Gayley Avenue) and
Broxton Avenue (between Le Conte and Kinross) may also experience some
delays during the event.
