Westwood Boulevard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westwood Boulevard is a street in Los Angeles that runs through the heart of Westwood Village and further south in West Los Angeles.
Westwood Blvd begins south of Sunset Boulevard in the campus of UCLA as Westwood Plaza. After passing UCLA, it is one of two major thoroughfares in the Village. Its intersection with Wilshire Boulevard is one of the busiest in Los Angeles, with seven through lanes and four left turn lanes (going east/west). Most of the large office buildings in Westwood are based on Westwood Blvd.
South of Wilshire, Westwood Blvd continues as a four lane boulevard passing through many small businesses. Many of these businesses are Persian, reflecting the neighborhood demographics. At Pico Boulevard is the Westside Pavilion Mall.
Westwood Blvd ends at National Boulevard in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, where it turns into National Place. Later, National Place becomes National Boulevard when it crosses Motor Avenue. At this point, Westwood Blvd is a primarily residential street.
