A Los Angeles councilwoman’s celebration of a newly painted neighborhood crosswalk has drawn online mockery after critics seized on the months-long timeline and glossy „street infrastructure“ rollout for what they said amounted to a basic city service.
Los Angeles Councilmember Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is facing online mockery after celebrating the completion of a neighborhood crosswalk project, which was first raised by the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council late last year, in a post on X. The post featured before-and-after images and thanked her field team for „continuing to problem-solve, push for solutions, and make our streets safer.“
„Dear Lord, Nithya. Your standards are so incredibly low,“ responded Richard Grenell, Presidential Envoy for Special Missions amid Donald Trump’s second term. „They didn’t even fix the street, they painted over cracks. And it took them a year…..“
„Holy s—t, my sides…Nithya Raman’s big accomplishment is taking 9 months to paint 7 yellow stripes over a cracked street?“ quipped former L.A. mayoral candidate and reality television star Spencer Pratt. „How dumb do you have to be to post this? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA“
„This is beyond parody,“ responded conservative commentator Ben Shapiro. „Eight months to paint some yellow lines. Huge infrastructure victory! Make her mayor!“
„They’re calling it the most ambitious infrastructure project since the Golden Gate Bridge,“ added the Manhattan Institute’s Chris Rufo.

Fox News Digital reached out to Raman’s office and Pratt for comment but did not receive a response before publication.
Raman’s announcement labeled the work „Improving Our Neighborhood Street Infrastructure“ and included before-and-after photos showing yellow crosswalk markings across the cracked roadway. She said the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council had brought the issue to her office in late 2025.
The post did not specify the project’s cost, when physical work began, which city department performed it or whether the work involved safety improvements beyond the painted markings.
