The city estimates that some 4,500 of its total 10,750 sidewalk miles are in disrepair. According to a 2007 USC study, the city repaired a grand total of 64 miles of sidewalks, or 1.4 percent of damaged sidewalks, improving the city’s backlog to 72 years.
The reasons for this civic embarrassment go back even longer than 72 years. They are twofold. One is political, the other arboreal.

Why is the only solution making sidewalks flat? Why can't they just remove the buckled concrete slabs? Plus, don't plant ficus again.
Sidewalks in LA get little use. This is much ado about nothing.
