Crescent Heights Boulevards with a parade route along Santa Monica Boulevard, ending at N. Robertson Boulevard. Due to parade-related street closures, the Cityline Commuter service will operate between the Hollywood/Highland Station and Santa Monica/Fairfax stops between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Following the WeHo Pride Parade – once streets have reopened – The PickUp will run along Santa Monica Boulevard between N.
