The everyday condition of Greater Wilshire’s streets is a top concern.
Transportation, traffic safety on residential blocks, and the standalone parking matters the city splits from development cases are all real concerns. But it is the everyday condition of the streets, the paving, the sidewalks, that comes up first, and almost universally.
Street and sidewalk maintenance including potholes, street lights and speed humps.
