LOS ANGELES (KNX) - Residents of Angelino Heights are fed up with the street racing and street takeovers that have occurred all these years thanks to the Fast and Furious movies.
Residents say fans of the movie franchise have been looking to copy what they see on the big screen.
"They will do donuts here and then speed down the street," said Alan Lee, an Angelino Heights neighbor.
After 20 years of complaints from residents, the city is responding to their calls for help, creating a plan to make one-way streets around Marion Park, new angle parking at pedestrian crossings, and raised areas on the streets.
"We will do everything we can at this location to see what works and what doesn't," said Brian Gallagher, Principal Transportation Engineer with the City of LA Department of Transportation. "And if we need to make adjustments, we have committed to come back out and try something else."
The redesign is set to be completed before the release of the next movie on May 19.
