Los Angeles moved to speed up its sidewalk repair program after the city’s controller reported only a fraction have been repaired in the six years since the city settled a $1.37 billion lawsuit with disability groups to repair sidewalks.

On Feb. 2, the LA City Council unanimously approved a motion to instruct the city’s bureaus of Engineering and Street Services to evaluate a series of changes that would speed up repairs, as recommended by Controller Ron Galperin in a November 2021 report.
