The City Council approved a report from the Transportation Committee directing the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), in collaboration with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), the Bureau of Street Services, and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), to establish a task force targeting locations in Council District 9 where vehicles are illegally parked and where city streets are being misused for storage purposes.
South Los Angeles faces a persistent lack of parking spaces, primarily caused by automotive shops parking and storing vehicles on the streets. Consequently, the accessibility for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) near these areas is significantly compromised, while double parking remains a constant issue. This initiative aims to deploy a task force to address these ongoing issues, bring together resources and departments, and enhance the overall quality of life for neighborhoods.
