Chat with Zev about Carmageddon II

Getting through a weekend without the 405 doesn't have to be a pain. Just ask Zev.

Carmageddon II is just a week away, and the pressure’s on to make sure that we get through the sequel just as successfully as we navigated the original. This Friday, Los Angeles County Supervisor and Metro Board member Zev Yaroslavsky will help folks finalize their plans and preparations by leading a live internet chat.

Getting through the weekend-long closure of a major section of the 405 means staying away from the area and, if possible, making it a car-light or car-free weekend close to home. The official mantra is “Eat, shop and play locally” and art and cycling enthusiasts have plenty of ideas to help you embrace your inner locavore.

The live chat will offer information about the 405 Project and the September 29-30 freeway closure. Participants also can submit suggestions and share their ideas and plans for the weekend. To join in, visit metro.net/chat from noon to 1 p.m. on Friday, September 21, or send advance questions to [email protected].
