A street that is heavily trafficked by picketers next to Walt Disney Studios just got a little easier to traverse.
On Tuesday, picketers were surprised by newly-installed blockades that gave them a safer space to walk along Keystone Street between Alameda Avenue and West Riverside Drive. But that also means no one can park there between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday though Friday, so strikers will have to park deeper in the Burbank neighborhoods.
Since the WGA started striking in early May, cars parked alongside Keystone Street so they could access the picket line. Union members would then walk the entire block — from Keystone to Buena Vista Street and then left on Riverside — to protest working conditions . But picketers would end up walking on the Keystone roadway since there is no sidewalk, only a dirt path.
