Question:
Subject: Mulholland Highway


I asked the following of Caltrans, and they suggested I ask you folks,
there -must-- be an answer to this, but it may not exist!??!

I live just outside Los Angeles County. I am trying to find some info on the [famous]
Mulholland Highway (parts are Drive), that traverses from Cabrillo State Beach on the
west all the way to Griffith Park (at Mt Hollywood Drive) on the east, about 55 miles
in all. Do you have a "historian" at DPW?!

Information abounds on the parts of it WEST of the 101 Fwy,,,but little if any info seems
available on the parts of it (Mulholland Highway) to the EAST of the 101. Here, there are
several lengths of closed,not_drivable road, and one fairly long piece that is open to cars.
There is also one "stretch" of "it", from the 101 to the southeast corner of Lake Hollywood
Reservoir, that is non-existent!! Do you know of any books, papers, Calif State DOT docu-
ments, etc. that talk of this part? Im curious why so much of it (the east of 101 part) IS
there, drivable or not, and other parts of it seem to be "missing" entirely. Was it -planned- at one
time to be an open road all the way from the 101 fwy, around the bottom of the Lake,
up and to Griffith Park? And just never was "built"!? "Things like that" questions! Also,
was it ever planned to extend even further east (that Mt Hollywood Drive) e.g. up to the
Traveltown RR area or south toward the Observatory etc, ending perhaps at Los Feliz Blvd?

Any info you could supply would be most appreciated! thanx, bob mackey
