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.

The Worst

17:45 Oct 11 2012 11676 Chenault St, Los Angeles, CA 90049, USA

Description
There has been NO sidewalk in front of the apartment building at 11676 Chenault Street, Los Angeles, 90049 (Brentwood) for at least a half century. Instead, there are approximately 20 uneven, irregularly spaced, small paving stones that are difficult to traverse during dry weather, next to impossible following a rain (photo). The disabled and seniors are forced to detour onto the street to avoid a slip, or trip, and fall. Emails to the Bureau of Street Services and to the office of Councilman Rosendahl in 2011 brought no response. (Little did I know that I was on the same list as other of the councilman's enemies - such as Presidents Obama and Clinton, Senator Feinstein, Representative Waxman, and Philip Anschutz.) Sincerely. John J. Kuiper
