Suits could force L.A. to spend huge sums on sidewalk repair: The civil rights actions claim that broken sidewalks and missing curb ramps violate the Americans With Disabilities Act. The city could be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars.

They truly have a case and then some. While I was moving last week I saw someone in a wheelchair on Wilshire who appeared to be quadriplegic trying to get down a shoddy sidewalk ramp and wanting to pull over the Uhaul and help him across the street. Dammit, I only had the Uhaul for another half hour, but I should have done it.
