In his first visit to Los Angeles since declaring he would not run for President in 2016, Vice President Joe Biden today returns to the home of the Democrats’ favorite ATM for more Hollywood cash. And that means, like his last trip in September, a slew of road closures and potential traffic snarls will hit the city from late this morning when the Veep arrives until early Tuesday when he splits town.

With an event in the Arts District in the afternoon and a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser in the evening, non-candidate Biden will be very busy while in the City of Angels. We have a fairly comprehensive list from the LAPD of the affected areas both on the Westside and downtown where he is scheduled to be (see below). However, in the interests of security, that list is never fully revealed and sources tell me that as a result of Friday’s attacks in Paris, the protective shield around Biden will be even more intense and tight than usual.

Flying in from D.C. on what is a three-state fundraising tour, Biden is expected to land at LAX around noon today. If past visits and LAPD info are any indication, you should probably stay off the 405 around that time. The Veep is set to speak downtown from 3-4PM at the L.A. Cleantech Incubator. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who many thought would be a backer of a Biden 2016 bid, will be in attendance.

Then, in the heart of rush hour, Biden heads to his deep-pocket lawyer-centric party fundraiser. Like his previous trips to town, there are also some off-book sitdowns scheduled with influential donors. as well as those trying to bring the Olympics to L.A. in 2024, I hear.

The VP is staying overnight in Beverly Hills before whipping to LAX on Tuesday morning – again right in the middle of rush hour. And again, if past visits are an indication, avoid the 405 among other areas. Biden then heads off to Oklahoma and then Texas on Wednesday before returning to D.C.
