The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday approved two separate reports calling for permanent fencing and the installation of a roundabout to address public safety around the hillside streets leading to the Hollywood sign.
The council unanimously approved a report calling for permanent replacement to temporary fencing along Mulholland Highway -- beginning at Canyon Lake Drive and running along a portion of the Lake Hollywood Park perimeter east to Durand Drive -- to deter vehicles from stopping along the two-lane segment.
In addition, the council unanimously approved a report calling for the installation of a traffic roundabout at the intersection of Canyon Lake and Mulholland, which would help facilitate safer vehicular travel.Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.

"We are seeing a huge influx of visitors traveling along narrow residential streets to get up-close views of the sign -- something that these neighborhoods have faced for a long time, but that for me, since I've only been here for two-and half years, I'm really seeing the full impact of this for the first time," she added.
Raman said the motions take"two small steps" toward addressing street improvements, pedestrian safety and concerns from the community.Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more. Here's your go-to source for today's LA news.
