Hollywood will be at your fingertips! Well, at least the world famous sign! After the closure of the Beachwood Drive<\/strong> gateway last April the city of Los Angeles may have in a short time a new acces to\u00a0its most recognizable landmark.<\/p>\n

LA Mayor Eric Garcetti<\/strong> told in a recent interview with ABC7<\/a> that he’s considering the possibility to build a gondola lift to connect Universal Studios with the Hollywood sign<\/strong>, at the summit of the Santa Monica Mountains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Garcetti said:<\/p>\n

“I think we need to have access to the Hollywood sign, both for residents and people who come here. We’ve got to figure out a better way that doesn’t just choke all of the streets with a thousand tour buses. People can’t get out of their own driveways.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Traffic mitigation would be the main goal<\/strong>, although the construction of the cable car would also have other benefits: attract even more tourists and pay for the maintenance of Griffith Park<\/a> with the money generated.<\/p>\n
