Here's the fun part of President Obama's visit to USC: We'll soon get to debate about which of his recent L.A. trips, his Westside appearance in August or his Trojan-campus campaign stop for Sen. Barbara Boxer at 1:30 p.m. Friday, tied up the most traffic.
Until then, we have the official LAPD list of street closures for you:
Martin Luther King Boulevard between South Figueroa Street and South Vermont Avenue:
Soft closure 9:30 a.m. to 11:25 a.m.
Hard closure 11:25 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.
Plus …
South Vermont Avenue between Martin Luther King Boulevard and Exposition Boulevard:
Soft closure 9:30 a.m. to 11:25 a.m.
Hard closure 11:25 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.
South Figueroa between Martin Luther King and 39th Street:
Soft closure 9:30 a.m. to 11:25 a.m.
Hard closure 11:25 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.
Exposition Boulevard between Vermont and Figueroa
Hard closure 11:25 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.
Additionally, hard closures for all of the above will happen from 2:25 p.m. to 2:50 p.m.
The enterprising young journalists at USC's Neon Tommy have already created an interactive map for your traffic-meltdown pleasure.
Have fun.
