Mobility

Saturday's traffic

It just gets worse. Besides the major sporting events that will overlap, officials are warning that the LA Weekly's Detour Festival in the Civic Center and the Grand Avenue Festival on Bunker Hill pretty much guarantee extraordinarily tough travel downtown. Streets will be closed, bus lines disrupted and the Harbor Freeway could be a mess.

"The best advice? Take public transit. Leave early," said MTA spokesman Marc Littman. Even buses could be delayed by detours and congestion, he cautioned. "It's best to take light rail. You don't have to worry about parking."

Personally, I'm allowing two hours to reach Dodger Stadium from the Westside.
