Background
The stadium is surrounded by 130 acres (53 ha) of parking lots. In 2008,
Fans create parking headaches for Echo Park residents.[5] Before a game, bumper to bumper traffic winds through the hilly streets to reach the stadium from several directions. On week days, rush hour increases the traffic crunch. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has two Dodger Stadium Express bus routes that transport fans to and from the stadium for games.[6] The Chinatown station is the nearest station of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. From there, it is a little over a mile walk through the Chinatown neighborhood with a pedestrian bridge available at the north end of Yale Street over the 110 Freeway.[7]

It continues along the Metro rail line alignment to an angle point where it heads up Bishops Road to the stadium, crossing the freeway near the Stadium Way crossing.[18]
