Comment on Why Los Angeles Stopped Repaving Its Streets

Comments

To save everyone a click, it’s because they are required now to update the roads to ADA standards if they repave.

So now more than 30% of the roads are in poor condition.

ADA went into force in 1992. It’s been 34 years and LA governments have never seen the need to even have a long term plan around updating infrastructure.

That is ridiculous. Most of the roads are inaccessible because the city has refused for 30+ years to even try.
