The worsened homeless encampment conditions has raised concerns among pedestrians and residents along Sunset Boulevard. Karma Dickerson reports for the NBC4 News on Nov. 7, 2023.
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.
