'Gateway' help

So what's going on at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Franklin Avenue? The notoriously congested "gateway to Hollywood" is getting some surgery (set to be completed this spring). It all started last year when the city took control of this part of Highland from the state (it is technically state Route 170). According to the city:

Transfer of jurisdiction over the thoroughfare to the City gives way to the highly anticipated Highland-Franklin Intersection Improvement Project. Serving as the gateway into Hollywood, the Highland-Franklin intersection is among the most congested intersections in the City, due in large part to the narrow roadway. The project, spearheaded by the Bureau of Engineering, will widen streets and add right-turn pockets to the intersection to mitigate traffic in the area for commuters and local residents. The project includes the installation of 45 new streetlights, 29 street trees, 30 decorative pedestrian lights and new traffic signals along Highland and Franklin avenues.

Here's a map of the project from the city.
