Why are  LA’s streets busted?


It turns out one big reason why repairs aren’t happening in a timely or orderly fashion is that we don’t have a Capital Infrastructure Plan.

A CIP is meant to help a city map out 5-10 years in advance the investments it needs to maintain its streets, parks, buildings and utilities. Most major metropolitan cities in the US have one, except LA.

Mayor Karen Bass is trying to fix that, but meanwhile, Angelenos are struggling with decades of neglect.
