L.A. traffic<\/a> is truly one of a kind,<\/strong> thanks to the sheer number of cars on the road, the endless freeways, and, of course, the parking limitations that can result in hefty fines<\/a> if you\u2019re not careful. Now, add a new rate increase to the mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, the City Council approved a hike in parking meter rates. In a 10-0 vote,<\/strong> council members authorized a 50-cent increase across the city, raising rates from $1 to $1.50.<\/strong> The last increase was in 2014. According to a city report cited by NBC,<\/a> parking meters are also expected to start charging on Sundays,<\/a><\/strong> though full implementation could take up to six months.<\/p>\n

City-owned parking lots are also changing. Twenty-eight facilities that were previously free<\/a> will now charge 25 cents per 30 minutes,<\/strong> with a $5 daily maximum. Within 90 days, LADOT will return with a proposal for a fee schedule for Preferential Parking District permits.<\/p>\n

In a related move, the Council directed the City Attorney, Sanitation, and Street Services to clarify penalties for trash bins left blocking sidewalks or streets.<\/strong> Options under review include adding fines to utility bills or using enforcement tools beyond standard citations. Recommendations will return to the Council for consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kit Leong via Shutterstock Save L.A. traffic is truly one of a kind, thanks to the sheer number…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":281881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,224,5337],"class_list":{"0":"post-281880","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-los-angeles","12":"tag-losangeles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115327718104506069","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
