800,000 and counting...
How could we have filled so many potholes but still have so many around LA? Consider this item: A pothole will be repaired today in Leimert Park -- the 800,000th since Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa launched a campaign to fill 1 million potholes 2-1/2 years ago. The mayor will wield a shovel and a load of hot patch with Bureau of Street Services workers at a specially designated crater in a residential neighborhood in Leimert Park. The milestone comes a week after a study group funded by the construction industry reported that Los Angeles has the bumpiest roads in California, with 65 percent of them needing repair. (CNS)
