Patch Poll: Coping With Ramp Jam

How are you going to deal with the Wilshire on- and off-ramp closures over the next 90 days?

Just thinking about Ramp Jam is enough to bring on a headache. The 90-day closure of the westbound Wilshire Boulevard on-ramp to the northbound 405 Freeway and the northbound 405 off-ramp to westbound Wilshire Boulevard starts Friday night.

About the only thing that's for sure about the project that will eventually rebuild all of the Wilshire/405 on- and off-ramps is that it's going to make traffic exceedingly ugly for an extended period of time. Then once the ramps are re-built, things should be better.

We can complain about the situation, but that's kind of like complaining about the pain of the necessary surgery we're about to have. Yeah, it hurts, but things will be a lot better once it's healed.

In the same way, we can cope with the hassle and maybe find some better ways of getting around Los Angeles in general.

So we're asking—how are you going to cope with the the closures? Take our poll below or add some other options in the comments box.
