What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Los Angeles is currently in mediation over accusations that the city is violating the terms of a $1.37 billion ADA lawsuit approved in April 2015. The settlement requires the city to fund a Sidewalk Repair Program to remedy accessibility issues. While Mayor Karen Bass’ office reports fulfilling the annual funding requirement, the Bureau of Engineering notes that over 5,000 repair reports remain uncorrected.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The program requires Los Angeles to allocate $31 million annually toward repairs, adjusted for inflation. Officials state that the annual volume of incoming requests exceeds the resources allocated, leading to a significant backlog in addressing dangerous obstacles like cracks and slippery ramps.
