In what was deemed a major victory for businesses and residents throughout Los Angeles, a judge this afternoon ordered the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Villaraigosa and City Councilman Jack Weiss not to proceed with their proposal to turn Pico and Olympic into virtual one-way streets until a true environmental impact study can be performed.

The preliminary injunction was requested by the Greater West Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, which has served as a spokesperson for its member businesses as well as numerous homeowners groups.
