Topline:
The cost of metered parking in L.A. is set to go up 50 cents, and hours of operation will also change after the City Council on Friday approved the proposal.
What’s the price change? Parking meters will soon charge $1.50 an hour. That’s a 50-cent hike from the original rate.
New hours: The council’s unanimous decision Friday also means parking meters will now run Sundays, with some exceptions. And parking meters in areas with high late-night activity will operate until midnight. Meters in other locations will run until 8 p.m.

Why the changes? If implemented by January, the new rates and extended hours could potentially bring the city at least $1.7 million for the next fiscal year, according to a city staff report. It's unclear when the changes will take effect.
Go deeper... L.A. parking rules are confusing (and enraging). This guide will help.
