Press release from the City of West Hollywood:

August 13, 2020

The City of West Hollywood will resume enforcing residential street sweeping parking restrictions on Monday, August 17, 2020. Due to an increase in working at home, residents with valid resident, guest, or visitor parking permits may continue to park for free at nearby parking meters during residential street sweeping. Vehicles must have a permit displayed and may park up to 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the posted hours for street sweeping at the address where the permit is registered. The ability of permit holders to park at meters for residential street sweeping will be in effect until Monday, August 31, 2020. The City encourages residents to move their vehicles to assist in keeping streets clean.

Additionally, the City of West Hollywood has suspended enforcement for peak/rush-hour zone restrictions (7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on La Brea Avenue, Crescent Heights Boulevard, and Fountain Avenue) until further notice.

The City of West Hollywood may further suspend enforcement of parking regulations as necessary. Temporary modifications to parking enforcement are intended to provide relief to residents in the City of West Hollywood who are experiencing uncertainty due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic while continuing to heed state and county health and safety measures intended to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.

The City of West Hollywood has declared a local emergency in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. When in public, community members should maintain your space with social (physical) distancing of at least six feet, and cover your face to adhere to City requirements for the use of face coverings.

Public Health officials recommend cloth face coverings so that medical-grade and N95 masks may be prioritized in the supply chain for healthcare workers and first responders. Face coverings are not required for young children under two-years-old; children between two- and eight-years-old should only wear face coverings with adult supervision; and people with certain medical conditions are exempt from this requirement.

The City encourages residents to remain home as much as is practical and limit close contact with others outside of a household. Additionally, people 65 years old or older and all people of any age with underlying health conditions should remain at home whenever possible; people in these categories should only leave their residences to seek medical care, exercise, or obtain food or other necessities.

West Hollywood City Hall is currently closed to the public and has suspended all in-person transactions. Most public City buildings, playgrounds, and facilities remain closed.
