Photograph of a view of the Wilshire Boulevard causeway at MacArthur (Westlake) Park, looking east from Park View Street, December 1934. The paved lanes of the Wilshire Boulevard causeway run through the center of the image, with light automobile traffic. The road is lined on both sides by streetlights, and a low concrete wall to the right that indicates the road's elevation above ground level. A pedestrian walks along the paved sidewalk at the left of the road. Trees and commercial buildings are visible in the hazy distance.
