LOS ANGELES — California drivers may not face rain this week, but potholes caused by recent storms pose new dangers.
In Los Angeles, requests for pothole repairs have soared as downpours have crumbled streets. Since Dec. 30, there have been 2,407 potholes reported on Los Angeles roads, with 722 this weekend alone. So far, 812 of those reported have been fixed, said Elena Stern, a spokesperson for the Department of Public Works.
Michael Cox, a manager with the Street Maintenance Division of DPW, is in his 34th year working for the city.
