The opening of the Red Building will not help.
San Vicente is the main issue, since it is a bit of an expressway slanting from Pico in mid-town to Santa Monica in WeHo. That particular intersection really cries out for work. I don't know if there is a short-term solution.
The longer term solution is to take at least San Vicente (preferably the whole intersection) underground and to build the Pink Line (Hollywood to BH). Like I said, long-term.

Do you mean that the Red Building WILL help? I don't see how it is a detriment.
