Barely Skating By

I'm surprised to learn that the narrow pedestrian overpass connecting Atwater Village to the west bank is the only footbridge crossing the 51-mile LA River. But so writes Michael Collins from Los Angeles CityBeat, as he rolls by Atwater Village on "asphalt as smooth as a baby's butt" ...
My Eastside skater gal and I discovered this remarkably private stretch of "black ice" while stuck in traffic on the Golden State Freeway near Griffith Park. The River Run starts by the Channel Boulevard Bridge in Burbank, hard on the Los Angeles River between the zoo and Travel Town... Located just south of Los Feliz Boulevard is the only footbridge that spans the L.A. River and connects to Atwater Village...
