LA City Council takes step to combat street takeovers, names problem intersections

Traffic moves along the new Sixth Street bridge between the Arts District and Boyle Heights on Tuesday, July 19, 2022. It is seen after another street takeover has left the pavement scarred with skid marks. Council members voted 12-1 to approve the recommendations, with Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez voting against the matter.

— The Valley Bureau identified Balboa and Foothill boulevards, Bledsoe Street and Bradley Avenue, Balboa and San Fernando Mission boulevards, Glenoaks Boulevard and Polk Street; and Yamell Street and Foothill Boulevard. According to a report from the city administrative officer, the total cost to implement the measures would be roughly $80,000 — and LADOT would need to determine installation plans. The report notes the cost of the initial work could be covered in the current fiscal year.

The LAPD will also conduct a follow-up report, identifying 50 locations throughout the city that have continuous issues with street racing and takeovers. The LADOT will then provide a report regarding possible funding for the use of cameras at those 50 locations.
