HossC / west portal, 2nd street tunnel.
I didn't realize the 2nd Street Tunnel was once trumpeted as the panacea to traffic problems for drivers trying to reach downtown from the west (and north).

"2nd Street had long been a major transportation bottleneck, as traffic from Hollywood and Glendale
had to be diverted
south from 2nd Street, around Bunker Hill, before entering the city."
So they decided to build a tunnel.
