As the summer is here with longer days, many Angelenos will find themselves walking in their communities. (Yes, people do walk in L.A.!) As you take your evening stroll at 7 or 8pm while the sun is setting, take note of your neighborhood. Is there a low hanging branch blocking the sidewalk that causes you to duck or walk into the parkway or street? Is there standing water at the curb? Errant markings or graffiti? a sidewalk that needs to be fixed? a stump that needs removal?
Well, take note and report it. You could take your cell phone along and call it in to 311, or just note the location and the issue, and submit it online at the Bureau of Street Services' request page.
Just check the service that is needed and hit submit. You'll get an email confirmation that will allow you to follow-up or track the progress (of the longer term fixes like sidewalk repair and street resurfacing). Here's a tool you can use that is easy and, best of all, allows you to create a paper trail so you know the request was made.
Go ahead; give it a try!
