Los Angeles city leaders have spent months discussing the best strategy for assessing the condition of thousands of miles of broken and buckled sidewalks. With the total cost of repairs expected to reach $1.5 billion, officials warn an exhaustive survey of the damage could take three years to complete and cost more than $10 million.

Readers can submit reports to the Times' own database of damaged sidewalks by snapping a picture and uploading it to our online form, sending an email to latimessidewalks@gmail.com with the photo as an attachment, or tweeting a photo with the address using the hashtag #lasidewalks.

If you send an email, please let us know the approximate address of the damage in the subject line, and describe the problem in the body of the message.

Unstable sidewalk

Description
The sidewalk in front of 605 Kelton Ave. is in desperate need of repair. It is unstable and there is a large piece of the sidewalk that moves when stepped on. Living here for two years, the bottom of my car scraped that part of the sidewalk every time that I pulled over it onto the driveway.
