Video: Residents Talk Horrible Larkspur Roads
Larkspur's roads are in the worst shape of any in the Bay Area, despite the wealth in the area.
As Larkspur-Corte Madera Patch reported last week, Larkspur was recently graded the worst in the entire Bay Area for its road conditions.
Tying with St. Helena with a score of 44 out of 100, Larkspur roads are notorious for potholes, cracks and unsafe walking and biking conditions.
Considering the high median income and general pool of wealth in the city, the state of the Larkspur's thoroughfares leaves many perplexed.
