One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

Topline:

Parking enforcement and restrictions will be eased within a one block radius from polling sites within Los Angeles city limits.

When does it take effect: The restrictions and enforcement will be relaxed as long as the polling site is open on Election Day — March 5 — and on all other days the voting center is open.

What are the exemptions: Parking time limits will not be enforced, neither will parking meters or street sweeping restrictions.

Red, yellow, disabled zone rules still apply. People will also still have to obey “No Parking Anytime” and “No Stopping Anytime” signs.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
