Parking Enforcement Relaxed In Culver City Due To Pandemic

CULVER CITY, CA — Culver City will continue to relax parking enforcement through Sept. 8 to continue encouraging people to stay home and slow the spread of the coronavirus.

"To make every effort to help people stay home and slow the spread of #COVID19, #CulverCity will continue relaxed parking enforcement until September 8, 2020 and will be subject to extensions as warranted by Public Health orders," the city announced.

Parking enforcement has been temporarily suspended on street sweeping days, city officials said. Street sweeping continues, but parked cars can block the roads and makes it harder to clean the streets.

"Understanding that the street sweeper must maneuver around parked cars, many residents have inquired about the relaxed enforcement, and on their own have moved their vehicles off of the street on posted street sweeping days," officials said in a statement.

Officials are asking residents to try and move their cars on street sweeping days.

"The City kindly requests motorists to move their cars when possible on street sweeping days during this relaxed enforcement period," officials said. "If there are any leaves or trash in the curb area that the sweeper cannot reach because of parked cars, the City asks residents to sweep such material out into the street beyond the parked cars an hour or so before the scheduled sweeping time. Or, residents can sweep up the materials and place in their green bins for collection."

The city does not plan to enforce:

• Street sweeping restrictions in residential areas
• Parking enforcement around closed schools
• Moratorium on ticketing and towing for abandoned vehicles and oversized vehicle overnight parking fines
• Freeze on parking fine increases for the next 60 days
• Extended grace period for people dropping off or picking up groceries and goods

The city does plan to enforce:

• Residential permit parking
• Parking violations of peak-hour restrictions
• Parking violations in a colored curb zone, ex. red and blue parking zones
• Parking meter violations

Officials could extend the date depending on upcoming health guidelines. Residents can continue to purchase residential permit parking on the city's website.
