Tunnel Vision

In a City as sprawling as Los Angeles, you expect to find many varied geographic features. Part of that geography dictates our roadway and the features they possess. From wide streets like Van Nuys Bl. to steep streets like Fargo to short streets like Powers and curvy, hilly streets Laurel Canyon. Because of these special and varied features, the City of Los Angeles has a variety of tunnels. There are seven tunnels though which vehicles have access in the City of Los Angeles.

Now, I'm talking about those tunnels currently open to vehicular traffic. And I'm not talking about the Metro Subway tunnels of the Red Line or Blue Line, nor am I talking about the closed-off, original subway tunnel between the Subway Terminal Building and Glendale Avenue. I'm also not referring to those "second streets" that are the true underbellies of the City. Also, I'm not including those Caltrans-controlled tunnels like the Figueroa Street tunnels.

Do you know the Seven Tunnels of LA?
