President’s visit means street closures Friday

President Obama’s visit to Los Angeles on Friday means two things: a) a chance to hear the commander-in-chief address students at a free, public rally on the USC campus, and b) traffic disruptions. There will be a number of closed streets around the Coliseum and the campus, and Metro is warning that bus service will be affected. (Metro’s Twitter alerts are here.) The USC website has details on the student-hosted event where Obama will appear. The president is expected to address the crowd from the steps of Doheny Memorial Library; gates will open at 10 a.m.

A presidential visit in August caused widespread traffic aggravation on the Westside.
