SOLUTION TO "WHY L.A. traffic sucks #8: Pesky annoying quirks: Dips and Potholes"



RE: my own post: WHY L.A. traffic sucks #8: Pesky annoying quirks: Dips and Potholes (Wednesday, May 03, 2006)

Scanning the webpages of http://www.lacity.org I came across the solution to this problem:

http://www.lacity.org/BOSS/index.htm

"The Bureau of Street Services delivers valuable services to customers in a timely, easy-to-do, business-with manner that positively impacts the quality of life for the community. Every customer contact is a positive experience resolved with courtesy, empathy, and professionalism. We maximize our funding potential."

But these "valuable services to customers" are not about to deliver themselves. YOU have to request them. Dips, potholes, torn-up streets, or any of the other problems below, slow down traffic. So if you are aware of any of these, especially dips, potholes or torn-up streets anywhere in L.A., please fill out the request form or call the number below.
