State of the City: Parking Renovations in Progress

EDITOR’S NOTE: Beverly Hills Mayor Lili Bosse gave the annual ”state of the city” address Wednesday evening at the historic Greystone Mansion Formal Gardens. Because of the speech’s length, Patch is presenting it to you in parts. Today is Part IV. Read Part I here. Read Part II here. Read Part III here.

From my years on the Traffic and Parking Commission, I remember this quote: “All roads lead to PARKING!” Our city parking is extremely important, as we all know. We understand that available parking in attractive, convenient, well-maintained parking facilities are a part of our brand and are essential to our continued success and growth.

The city is currently involved in a facilities upgrade of our parking structures. We are in the second phase of elevator renovations; concrete improvements and water-proofing are complete. And, we are in the midst of a number of aesthetic improvements, which include repainting and new signage.

Jim Jahant, our wonderful former President of the Rodeo Drive Committee, is fond of saying that our parking structures are the first and last thing visitors see when they come to Beverly Hills. I want Jim and all of you to know, that there are currently plans for upgrading all of the parking facilities within two years.

END OF PART IV
