LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Police Department will conduct a traffic enforcement operation on the Sixth Street Bridge on July 31 in the wake of a recent spate of illegal activity—possibly shutting down the roadway for certain periods of time.
Sunday’s operation will be conducted from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., and is intended “to ensure safe passage and movement along the bridge itself,” according to police.
“In order to maintain crowd safety, perimeter control and safe movement of participants, the bridge will be subject to closing and expeditiously reopening,” the LAPD said in a statement Friday.
The LAPD’s announcement of the operation came the same day L.A. City Councilman Kevin de León decried recent antics on the bridge—which have included people doing donuts in their cars, painting graffiti and even getting haircuts on the bridge….
