[edit] Sepulveda longest street?

Hopefully the edits that I just made should fix some of the confusion.

For fact checking purposes: I took most of the distance information from the second link. Whoever originally stated that it was only 30 miles was just guessing. Compaire "SameerKhan" edit to the edit before his/hers (with his comments taken into account). I wish I knew the distance of the second section (the one North of Rinaldi) so we could have a complete distance calculated. I live of of Sepulveda so I will probably drive the entire distance when I return home (Dec. 10th). --BMan1113VR 05:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused. It said Sepulveda went to San Pedro, but the only one that does was said to be unrelated to the other sepulveda.

In my opinion, These three Sepulveda Blvd.s are one-in-the-same. On the northern end, there is now no Sepulveda Blvd. between Roxford and Rinaldi probably due to the contruction of the Interstates 5 and 405 which follow Sepulveda's "route". On the southern end, it is possible that the name Sepulveda was changed by the cities of Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach to Pacific Coast Hwy and Camino Real. If not for the name change, the southern stretch of Sepulveda would be contiguous with the main (central) portion.

The Guiness Book of World Records used to describe this as the longest street in the world. If they still do that'd be worth mentioning. -Will Beback 20:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

The Los Angeles Times just reported that it's the longest in the city and county, though they call it just 40 miles long. -Will Beback · † · 09:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Here's a recent debunking of the "longest street in the world" claim, which appears convincing: http://la.curbed.com/archives/2006/08/worlds_longest.php . I removed the claim. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 18:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
