What is Being Proposed?
The Transportation Committee is recommending that the City Council establish parking restrictions for oversized vehicles on a segment of Shoup Avenue in Council District 3. Specifically, vehicles exceeding 22 feet in length or 7 feet in height would be prohibited from parking on the east side of Shoup Avenue between Roscoe Boulevard and Strathern Street during the hours of 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
How It Will Work
If approved, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) would post "tow away, no parking" signs at the affected locations and establish a permit system for overnight parking. This would allow oversize vehicle owners to purchase permits to park in this area during the restricted hours, in accordance with Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 80.69.4.
