It's been awhile since we've published a reader question and answer article. With the arrival of Interim General Manager Jon Kirk Mukri to the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, now seemed a great time to bring back this old series. You pick the questions, we'll submit them to Mukri through the LADOT press office.

Mukri took over as Interim General Manager of the department from Jaime De La Vega yesterday, and is widely seen as a caretaker until a permanent General Manager can be found. Mukri is also the general manager of the Recreation and Parks Department.

As we’ve done in the past, just submit any questions you have that are related to transportation or planning in the comments section by Friday and I’ll send the top ten to Leon. Once he responds we’ll post the answers here with minimal comment from me (and plenty of comment from you.)

You can leave questions in the comments section or by tweeting to @streetsblogla. Questions are due by Thursday morning.
