    There's more trouble ahead for traffic in Westwood and the Sepulveda Pass. Metro's weeks of warning about "Carmageddon" gave drivers plenty of time to plan alternatives to using the 405 through the Sepulveda Pass for one weekend this past July.

It waited until then to issue a press release advising motorists to "plan ahead and allow additional time to reach their destinations."
