Los Angeles city streets will worsen and repairing them will become more expensive unless the city overhauls its approach to maintenance, according to a report from transportation advocacy group Streets For All.
I find this article confusing, as it’s missing essential details. So: L.A. is using piecemeal pavement surface maintenance techniques, and deferring ADA upgrades.
Why?
If it’s anything like my city, it’s because proper maintenance is extremely expensive. So this report comes out and says, “Solve this problem by spending a lot more money.” Is Streets For All another of these astroturf groups funded by auto industry money?
The answer is spend a lot of money, on adding bike lanes and sidewalks and making sure no street is more than 2 lanes wide
