Save the Hyperion Bridge Mini-Walk

The beautiful Hyperion Bridge between Silverlake and Atwater is threatened by plans to rebuild it as a 55-MPH structure; this iconic bridge would be retrofitted without pedestrian or bike lanes, a change that’s absolutely inappropriate for the kind of neighborhood scale we rely on to make Big Parade events happen. This short walk features a Griffith Park segment, where we’ll be over the bridge; a half-dozen stairways and passages; and a finish at the bridge with a presentation on this structure’s future. It will be a great walk even if you care about none of this—but you do care, right?

By Joe Linton |
