LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council has approved $129,000 in funding to remove graffiti and provide other maintenance on the Sixth Street Bridge.

The amount is a decrease from the originally proposed amount of $353,000, which the council’s Budget and Finance Committee slashed last month due to the bridge seeing fewer incidents of graffiti in recent weeks.
