Council Bans Overnight RV Parking In Mar Vista
This is the second resolution to prohibit overnight parking in the 11th District. A similar motion was put in place in Venice in April.
MAR VISTA, CA — A new resolution to ban oversized vehicles from being parked along various streets in Westchester and Mar Vista from 2-6 a.m. was unanimously approved Friday by the Los Angeles City Council.
This is the second resolution that Councilwoman Traci Park introduced to prohibit RVs and other vehicles that are in excess of 22 feet in length or 7 feet in height from parking overnight in the 11th District, which she represents. The council approved a similar motion for several Venice streets April 14.
Park previously said that the resolutions were prompted after her constituents expressed their frustration and petitioned to prohibit large vehicles from parking in their neighborhoods. She called the resolution a "small step" to address a situation that raised concerns over public safety.
