With much of Southern California thrilled by the beauty and grace of the new Sixth Street Bridge linking the Los Angeles Arts District to Boyle Heights, the city appears to have little ability to stop illegal racing, dangerous and illegal bridge-climbing, and daredevil antics meant for TikTok and YouTube.
“There is a reasonable question that has been broached for the past few weeks: ‘Do we in Los Angeles, do we deserve good things?”‘ De León said at the Public Works Committee meeting. “And the answer is unequivocally yes. We do deserve good things. Especially in light of a global pandemic, we especially deserve very good things.”
“Love Locks” have already begun appearing on the new 6th street bridge in Los Angeles, CA Wednesday, July 27, 2022. The LAPD has put more enforcement on the bridge to help cut down on street take-overs, tagging, cruising and other problems since the opening of the new bridge. A public works official told the committee on Wednesday that graffiti removal crews were responding to more than 100 locations on the bridge each day — slightly less graffiti than in a sprawling city council district, “but it probably is getting close to it,” he said.
Lee also said that when funding is not available, his office has to raise its own funds or use his office’s discretionary dollars.
