Mark Mourey
July 14, 2010, 2:01pm (report abuse)There are many examples of parks improving the quality of life for urban centers. There is no doubt this project is needed, and it would benefit the residents of Hollywood and Los Angeles.

Jeff Briggs
July 15, 2010, 2:40am (report abuse)This is no "bridge to nowhere." This is a project whose benefit will far exceed its locale. Great project. I totally support it.
Terri Gerger
July 15, 2010, 9:10pm (report abuse)There currently is "zero" greenspace in Hollywood. This will be great for everyone. I support the park.
Stephen Box

Ryan Bell
July 17, 2010, 12:51am (report abuse)My church is adjacent to the freeway and proposed park site. I and my congregation are 100% in support of this as a benefit a community desperately in need of public park space!
Jeremy
July 17, 2010, 1:41am (report abuse)other cities have them, why not Hollywood? (can you say new action movie location $$$?)
Matthew Stafford
July 17, 2010, 2:48am (report abuse)Hollywood and Central Los Angeles in general have one of the worst deficiencies of park space in the country. This is sorely needed. I support the effort entirely.
Ross Hirsch
July 17, 2010, 4:12am (report abuse)Don't kids that live in Hollywood deserve adequate park facilities that they can bike/walk to? Right now they don't have that, but this project would help alleviate that desperately needed recreational infrastructure. Get kids out biking/walking in their neighborhood and what a community thrive. Let's see that in Hollywood.
Ross Hirsch
July 17, 2010, 4:14am (report abuse)Correction: that would be: "...and *watch* a community thrive." Apologies.
Enci
July 17, 2010, 2:54pm (report abuse)The community is in need of this park and many more parks! This is vital to the health of the residence and the health of the community as a whole.
Kathy Cerra
August 30, 2010, 3:13pm (report abuse)This will profoundly and positively benefit the Hollywood / Western communities when built. The benefits to the environment, to citizens' health, and to the regional economy go far beyond the park boundaries, far beyond Hollywood's boundaries. Let's get this accomplished - the sooner we do this, the more rewards we will gain.
