| The Issue |
| City Council members want to speed up road and other infrastructure repairs. |
| Why It Matters |

| What They’re Doing About It |
| In the coming weeks, two council committees will hold hearings almost exclusively devoted to attacking San Diego’s massive and unwieldy infrastructure repair backlog. |
