A student-led demonstration moved through the Civic Center area of downtown Los Angeles on Feb. 6, prompting a police traffic advisory and slowing movement across several core blocks. The march stayed on Los Angeles Street, Alameda Street, 1st Street and Aliso Street, and authorities said students were among those participating. Motorists and pedestrians were urged to use caution and expect delays while the group was in the roadway.
LAPD Issues Traffic Advisory
According to the LAPD Central Division, the department posted an advisory on X stating that a demonstration was active in the Civic Center and listing Los Angeles, Alameda, 1st and Aliso as the streets where the march was moving. The post noted that students were participating and urged people in the area to use caution. The social account also includes a location tied to the LAPD Central Division office.
Route And Local Context
The Civic Center corridor, which includes City Hall and several federal courthouses, has been a focal point for immigration-related protests and student walkouts in recent weeks, according to CBS Los Angeles. Those earlier events at times prompted dispersal orders and police action, which helps explain the swift traffic advisory for the blocks named in the latest march.
Commuters Should Expect Delays
Local broadcasters have reported past demonstrations forcing temporary street closures such as Spring Street between Temple and 1st and Alameda Street between Aliso and Temple, so travelers should anticipate possible disruptions, NBC Los Angeles noted. If you have to be in DTLA, allow extra time, consider alternate routes, or check transit updates until the march clears.
What Authorities Say
The LAPD Central Division account profile notes it is not monitored 24/7, and anyone needing immediate help should call 911. We will update this post if police issue additional advisories or details on any road closures.
