 Patwin Plains
Los Angeles-style urban development had by the 1940's already filled up Glendale and Burbank at the eastern end of the valley, and the southern Ventura Boulevard rim of the region (from Cahuenga Pass to Studio City and beyond) had already begun to be an urban spill-over from Hollywood.
Thus the San Fernando Valley in a few short years passed from small farms, agriculture, and regional centers of urbanization to a completely urbanized wasteland with large areas resembling the eastern side of Sacramento today and especially those areas subdivided by the County of Sacramento east of I-80 and north of I-50.
Neither of these projects are sound since, as regards the Ramos development, the county is not equipped to provide for sewers, water, flood-control, schools, parks, et cetera, nor for planning for a social service structure to meet the needs of a new community (including planning for differential income housing).

The "dream" right of way through Cahuenga Pass was paved over in 1957 to add two additional lanes to the Hollywood Freeway.

 Mountain Biking: Hollywood Hills
I ended up passing a couple of guys who were camping and then found myself trying to clamber down behind a big sign, complete with fountains right at the street entrance to the Hollywood Bowl.
From this point, you just sail down the hill, passing a park on the right side full of kids and dogs, and make a left turn onto Arrowhead Drive, which then ends up down at the reservoir level.
