Pothole of the week follow-up
A follow-up to today's pothole of the week winner, a stretch of bicycle-eating pavement on northbound Western Avenue near Lexington in Hollywood.
The offending street is in the district represented by Los Angeles Council President Eric Garcetti. Today, his communications deputy, Julie Wong, quickly alerted the city's Bureau of Street Services of the problem, and the agency says it will send someone to investigate early next week.
Wong said this may be more than a mere pothole -- it appears that it's a failed street. She is going to let us know what Street Services plans to do about it.
In the meantime, don't forget to e-mail me your nomination for next week's pothole of the week. If you're an elected official and want to see your photo on The Times' website, this is a great way to go about it -- report a pothole in your district you want to fix!
