I can tell you what they are doing here, rather than fixing the actual roads right by my office on Watt Ave. They are spending a ton of dough to cut down trees and put in a sidewalk that is not needed, putting in a very pretty wrought iron fence on the center island, with ersatz crows standing on top of it and some lovely ducks looking like they are about to take flight to the top of a garish, faux palm tree on the median. They are also improving the bus stops, in the hopes that they can get someone to ride them. Year later, the road is rutted asphalt that could hole the oil pan of some cars just changing lanes.
We give them adequate funds for highway repair, in California the money does not always get where it is supposed to be though. They neglect that stuff here and we have earthquakes from time to time.
