HOV Lane Open To All During Construction

A carpool lane on the westbound 170 Freeway is open to all cars during construction of a new ramp at Hollywood Way and the 134 Freeway.

Although CalTrans officials say its use as a regular lane is only temporary, that could mean it stays open for all until the summer of 2010 when construction ends.

Some pleased commuters hope it always stays open. What do you say? Tell us on our blog.
