Tunnel in Boyle Heights Turns Dangerous | Venice Beach News
Description
A once-safe shortcut through a Boyle Heights tunnel is now a hotspot for drug use and fires, forcing childcare provider Viviana Martinez Giron to call 911 repeatedly. Though the gate’s been locked, vandals cut a new hole — leaving the area dangerously open. Councilmember Ysabel Jurado is pushing to permanently seal it, but warns it’s not just about building a wall — it requires engineering, city coordination, funding, and council approval — while ensuring unhoused residents get help. For Viviana, though, sealing the tunnel isn’t enough; she wants the root cause — drug activity — addressed so kids can safely walk through instead of crossing busy streets.
