Yesterday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced relaxed parking enforcement in Los Angeles in response to COVID-19. More people working from and staying at home means more cars parked in the same spot for, well, who knows how long? Both West Hollywood and Santa Monica have also issued similar changes, all of which are effective now and remain in place until at least March 31.
In West Hollywood, changes include:
