 The ravine over which the bridge crosses was once a perennial stream called Arroyo de la Sacatela.To the east of the bridge begins the Franklin Hills public stairway system, which provides pedestrian linkages among the curvy streets, a series of 14 staircases originally built in the 1920s to provide hillside homeowners pedestrian access to the trolley lines below.On Talmadge Street lies Prospect Studios.
