Rather than coming up with a viable long-term solution to bring their stadium and parking lot up to 21st century standards, The Dodgers, a multi-billion dollar corporation, will instead spread the burden of traffic on Echo Park residents and local roads (Scott Ave borders the playground of 2 local elementary schools), creating a public safety hazard for the community.
Additionally, the stadium is raising the cost of parking by 50%, increasing the likelihood that fans will choose to park in much-need spots on local roads. The Dodgers as of yet have no concrete traffic or safety plan to protect residents from the extreme congestion.
