Brentwood residents noticed a well-known face shoveling asphalt restore combine right into a pothole on Tuesday: Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The annoyed former governor and film star took to the streets with a shovel and a bucket with a “do it your self” perspective after he mentioned he’d waited three weeks for town to restore his native street.
“At this time, after the entire neighborhood has been upset about this big pothole that’s been screwing up automobiles and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my staff and stuck it,” Schwarzenegger mentioned in a tweet. “I at all times say, let’s not complain, let’s do one thing about it. Right here you go.”
Final week, Los Angeles officers acknowledged a “large surge” in street restore requests following extreme rain.
Los Angeles has acquired 19,642 pothole restore service requests since December, in response to Bureau of Avenue Providers Normal Supervisor Keith Mozee.
The town anticipates finishing all pothole restore work by the top of April, he mentioned.
A spokesperson for Schwarzenegger mentioned Brentwood residents have made repeated requests for repairs, in response to the Related Press.
Schwarzenegger, 75, ended his time period as a Republican governor in 2011. A former skilled bodybuilder, he writes a every day health e-newsletter known as “the Pump Membership.”
