Westwood Boulevard is a street in Los Angeles that runs through the heart of Westwood Village and further south in West Los Angeles. Westwood Blvd begins south of Sunset Boulevard in the campus of UCLA as Westwood Plaza. After exiting UCLA, it is one of two major thoroughfares in the Village. Its intersection with Wilshire Boulevard is one of the busiest in Los Angeles, with seven through lanes and four left turn lanes (going east/west). Most of the large office buildings in Westwood are based on Westwood Blvd. South of Wilshire, Westwood Blvd continues as a four lane boulevard passing through many small businesses. Many of these businesses are Persian, reflecting the neighborhood demographics. At Pico Boulevard is the Westside Pavilion Mall. Westwood Blvd is most notable for the large number of Persian restaurants, as the road traverses and area commonly referred to as Tehrangeles. Westwood Blvd ends south of National Boulevard in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, as it curves to the east and turns into National Place. Later, National Place becomes National Boulevard when it crosses Overland Avenue. At this point, Westwood Blvd is a primarily residential street. Plans to install bike lanes near UCLA have been contentious, with opponents claiming they would worsen traffic. ==Education and transportation== * UCLA * Santa Monica Freeway (US Route 66) crosses over Westwood Boulevard * Santa Monica Transit lines 8 and 12 run through Westwood Boulevard * The Metro Expo Line is proposed to operate a rail station at Exposition Boulevard in 2015 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Westwood Boulevard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
