The West Doran Street crossing is located approximately 2,640 feet (one-half mile) from the Brazil Street crossing, and approximately 4,500 feet from the grade-separated Colorado Street crossing, making it an unnecessary or redundant crossing. However, since the Los Angeles River bisects the San Fernando corridor immediately north of West Doran Street, the West Doran Street crossing provides the industries located on West Doran Street and West San Fernando Road north of the Brazil Street crossing with the closest access to North San Fernando Road.
