2/3rds of California local roads and streets now need major, expensive rehabilitation

According to the AA magazine Westways, and the study 2014 California local streets and roads needs assessment http://www.savecaliforniastreets.org/

This update surveyed all of California’s 58 counties and 482 cities in 2014. The information captured data from more than 99 percent of the state’s local streets and roads – a level of participation that makes clear the local interest in addressing the growing problems of crumbling streets and roads.
