Got this video from @CrosswalksLA showing @LADOT workers removing an unauthorized crosswalk in East Hollywood. City officials say they'll have a traffic circle in place by the end of the day. Story to come.
Got a chance to talk to PULITZER WINNER @Maria_Hinojosa moments after the big announcement!
.@Maria_Hinojosa's advice for fellow journalists is: "Trust your gut about what's a story. But then also be prepared to bring some heart into it."
