Getting around Downey

Downey is boxed in by the 5, 105, 605 and 710, so most bookings here are about getting somewhere quickly: LAX runs on the 105, cruise departures in Long Beach and San Pedro by way of the 710, and weekday trips into Downtown LA. Patients and visitors heading to the Kaiser Permanente medical center book door-to-door rides too, as do families celebrating at local banquet halls who want everyone home without driving.

Good to know in Downey

1

The 105 runs straight west toward LAX from Downey’s southern edge, but its eastbound side is slowest late in the afternoon, so evening arrivals take longer to get home than morning departures take to reach the terminal.

2

Lakewood Boulevard links the original McDonald’s at Florence Avenue, Stonewood Center at Firestone and the Space Center area near Imperial Highway, so a visitor loop through Downey barely leaves one street.

3

For the Kaiser Permanente medical center on Imperial Highway, enter the exact building address as your pickup or drop-off, since the campus has several buildings and entrances.

Popular drop-offs in Downey

Downey Landing

Downey Landing is the shopping center built on part of the former aerospace plant where Apollo spacecraft were made, and it shares that site with the Columbia Memorial Space Center.

Stonewood Center

Stonewood Center sits at Firestone and Lakewood Boulevards in the middle of Downey, an easy stop to fold into an hourly day of errands.

Columbia Memorial Space Center

The Space Center on Columbia Way is a hands-on science learning center named for the shuttle Columbia, and a Sprinter van keeps a group outing together.

The Original McDonald's Site

The oldest operating McDonald’s, opened in 1953 at Lakewood Boulevard and Florence Avenue, still has its single golden arch and walk-up windows, which makes it a quick photo stop.
