Employee Bulletin
October 20, 2006

This Sunday, October 22, most of the streets adjacent to The Times' downtown facilities will be closed from 11:00 a.m. until midnight, due to a planned protest march and demonstration.

The Los Angeles County Department of Transportation (DOT) has indicated that the following streets will be closed:

· Broadway - From 1st Street to 11th Street.

· Main Street - From 1st Street to Aliso Street.

· Los Angeles Street - From 1st Street to Aliso Street.

· Temple Street - From Spring Street to Alameda Street.

· 1st Street - From Broadway to Main Street.

· 2nd Street - From Broadway to Alameda Street.

Spring Street, between 2nd and 3rd streets, is currently scheduled to remain open all day on Sunday.

All employees who come to work on Sunday should be prepared to present their Los Angeles Times identification badge to Department of Transportation personnel to be allowed access past street barricades.

Los Angeles Times security personnel will also be on hand on Sunday to help DOT officers identify and assist Times employees in getting past the barricades and gaining entrance into The Times' 213 Spring Street garage.

The recommended route to access the parking garage is to proceed west on 2nd Street, turn left on Spring Street and then enter the garage on Spring Street.

If you have any questions or need further information, please call The Times' Security Office at 213-237-3303.
