Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced Saturday that more than 2,400 potholes have been repaired across the city after the recent rainstorms.
Los Angeles saw record rainfall over the Christmas and New Year’s Eve holidays, with more than 7 inches falling across the city since Dec. 23. The city’s Bureau of Street Services dedicated additional resources toward pothole repairs, including deploying additional personnel who are working longer hours during the week and weekend, officials said.
“Los Angeles saw record rainfall over the holiday season, and we are increasingly seeing more extreme weather events,” Bass said. “City public works crews are out every day fixing potholes and responding to calls for service to minimize impacts to Angelenos. Angelenos are encouraged to report potholes to 311.”
