Los Angeles Speeds Pothole Fixes After Storms as Repaving Lags

The city plans 60 lane miles of paving late this fiscal year.

Overview

  • Crew reports show nearly 10,000 potholes filled citywide, including more than 2,400 in recent days after the latest storms.
  • The Bureau of Street Services confirms no streets have been resurfaced since last summer and targets 60 lane miles of paving in the fiscal year’s final quarter.
  • Los Angeles manages roughly 23,000 lane miles, highlighting the scale gap between temporary patches and long-term resurfacing.
  • During a KTLA interview, Mayor Karen Bass was challenged on her statement about paving 60 miles as residents questioned visible progress.
  • Officials urge residents to report road hazards through 311 or the MyLA311 app, as AAA cites about $600 average repair bills and local shops report higher demand.
