Caltrans District 7 Headquarters — Attraction in Los Angeles

I am writing to express my extreme concern about the increasing trash and debris on the freeways around Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, North Hollywood, and Encino. It has become increasingly evident that the cleanliness of our roadways is deteriorating, and it appears that routine maintenance efforts have not been adequately addressed.

As a taxpayer, I believe it is crucial that the funds allocated for freeway upkeep are utilized effectively. The current state of our freeways not only detracts from the beauty of our communities but also poses potential hazards to drivers and pedestrians alike. It is disheartening to see the lack of attention to this issue, and I urge Caltrans to prioritize clean-up efforts in our area! Also very common workers sitting in their cars not working!

Today I was driving up hwy 15 N to go to LA. As usual I merged into the 91 W to go the 7 miles to the 71 N then to the 60 W into LA.

It took 1 hour to travel 5 miles and when I got to the 71 merge it was closed (big rig fire) YET there was a lane that could have been used to merge onto the 71 had the CHP done a better job.

Do a better...

If you truly care about climate change and sustainable economies, then please reduce car dependency and invest more into safer public infrastructure.

People deserve car free streets, protected bike lanes, and affordable convenient public transit through buses, light rail, subways, and high speed rail.

Future generations shouldn't have to depend on others to drive them everywhere, and they can greatly benefit from safer roads around their schools/neighborhoods.

Car ownership isn't always bad, but if it becomes the only mode of transportation, then cities will continue to suffer from inflation, high gas prices, and dependence on...
