In 1962, Echo Park & Silver Lake activists stopped the 2 Freeway (an already approved project) from further dividing our communitiesBy then, the 2 Freeway was complete through our part of the neighborhood, permanently leaving Corralitas Drive with one means of vehicle access. (Echo Park has a rich history of community activists speaking up for lost causes.)
