One less pothole in LA!
The words of Ariana Grande are ringing in my head – “I’ve got one less problem without you..” One less one less POTHOLE!
Rosemary’s Baby Pothole
You’re welcome Silver Strand residents. I’ve been reporting this pothole at Roma Court and Via Dolce for more than a year. This baby bump, more like Rosemary’s baby bump is finally gone. It’s a bump after a dip with lots of potholes in the middle. It was a formula for disaster for cars in the hood, and the cars in this hood aren’t cheap. The problem was … either you 1.) go through it too fast not realizing what you’re approaching and scrape the bottom of your car; or 2.) you slowly navigate your way through the e-ticket ride bobbing up and down, killing your shocks and tires; or 3.) you swerve into opposing traffic to avoid the whole thing thereby scaring walkers, joggers, cyclists, nevermind other vehicles going the other direction because they all think you’re trying to take them out. There was no good way through this and it lasted for more than a year!
Warning — objects in picture are worse than they appear.
I’m pleased to say, I found a way to get beyond the 211 line and online form to report potholes and get to a real person. It took a few times to explain that the whole thing needed to be scraped and leveled in order to fix it, but it happened! I thank the City of LA staff for their diligence and willingness to deal with this situation. So, fear not Silver Strand people. Now, the 2 Hummer owners in the area can no longer point to a legitimate reason to own one in the city.
Sincerely,
Marci, your neighborhood road activist
P.S. I tried getting an after picture, but I may have created a new problem here. People are now going through this intersection way too fast, I didn’t want to get run over!
P.P.S. Let me know if you have any pothole issues. I can help!
