LA City Council votes to ban overnight RV parking on multiple streets

[ad_1]

The City Council voted to prohibit parking of recreational vehicles between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. along several streets in West and South Los Angeles.

The Council voted 11-2 to support two separate but related resolutions to enact a city law, regulating parking of oversize vehicles. Council members Hugo Soto-Martinez and Eunisses Hernandez voted against the move, and council members Bob Blumenfield and Katy Yaroslavsky were absent during the vote.

The resolutions were introduced by Councilwomen Traci Park and Heather Hutt, who represent the 11th and 10th districts.

There is an “increased problem” where large vehicles, such as RVs, are often “parked overnight and constrict travel lanes, thereby creating dangerous situations,” the resolutions state.

The council instructed the Department of Transportation to post signs giving notice of a tow away, no-parking restriction on the following West L.A. streets in the 11th District:

Southside of Centinela Avenue between Wooster Avenue and La Tijera Boulevard;
Lucille Avenue between Glencoe Avenue and Louella Avenue;
North side of Washington Place between Wasatch Avenue and Centinela Avenue;
Stoner Avenue between Gateway Boulevard and the Santa Monica (10) Freeway; Crescent Park West between Crescent Park East;

Millenium Drive between Veranda Way and Runway Lane;
Runway Lane between Millenium Drive and Runway Road;
Runway Road between Runway Lane and Dawn Creek;
Dawn Creek between Runway Road and Bluff Creek Drive;
McConnell Avenue between Millenium Drive and Bluff Creek Drive; and
Bluff Creek Drive between 12657 Bluff Creek Drive and Village Drive.

The Department of Transportation will also install signs prohibiting early-morning RV parking in the 10th District along the following streets:

Boden Street between Clyde Avenue and Carmona Avenue;
West Boulevard overpass bridge between W. Adams Boulevard and W. 23rd Street; and
W. 25th Street between Wellington Road and S. Victoria Avenue.
