Current Statistics and Data
StreetsLA manages a vast portfolio of public infrastructure – including 23,000 lane miles of streets and 660,000 street trees, so we use a data-driven approach to inform how we allocate our resources. We also make our work transparent and accessible, because we want you to know what we are up to in your neighborhoods.
Metrics - Fiscal Year 23-24
Pavement Preservation
StreetsLA’s Pavement Preservation Program (PPP) includes both resurfacing and slurry of the City’s 23,000 lane miles of streets.
Resurfacing involves comprehensive repaving of streets. This occurs, on average, every 15 to 20 years for “select streets” (which are major arterial streets and corridors) and 25 to 30 years for “local streets” (which are typically residential streets).
Slurry functions as a “maintenance coat” for qualified streets. This occurs, on average, every 3 to 5 years.
Urban Tree Canopy
Trees are one of our most valuable resources – providing shade, capturing and cleaning stormwater runoff, removing pollution from the air, storing carbon, and producing oxygen. With 660,000 street trees, Los Angeles has the largest municipal urban forest in the nation, and StreetsLA is responsible for managing it all. We maintain a citywide tree inventory and provide annual tree trimming in each of the 15 Council Districts.
Sidewalk & Transit Amenities Program (STAP)
The Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP) is adding 3,000 new bus shelters across the City of Los Angeles, and will make it easier, safer, and more pleasant for Angelenos to ride the bus. Please visit the full project website at http://LABusStop.com or take a look at the information below for updates on the program.

Emergency Response
During emergencies, StreetsLA serves as the first responder to emergencies in the public right-of-way. The Bureau is responsible for clearing debris from roadways, repairing potholes and addressing tree emergencies (including fallen or leaning trees). StreetsLA’s first priority during any emergency is to ensure the public right-of-way is safe, clear and passable.
