More than seven months ago, unpermitted alterations began to the Red Car Viaduct Footings, (City of Los Angeles Cultural Historic Landmark #770). The City gave notice to remove the unpermitted alterations on June 20, 2010, but then failed to remove the structure.
Despite routine reminders to City Council President Eric Garcetti's office (CD13), the structure remains an eyesore and a fire hazard. Silver Lake Deputy Ryan Carpio failed to respond to several email reminders in the past month. But then, what's one more piece of crap to look at when you have power lines, ugly rooftops, major commuter streets and the 5 Freeway to clutter the view.
