Relaxed Parking for the Passover Holidays

The Jewish holiday of Passover begins Monday at sundown. On the first two nights, people traditionally attend syngagogue services followed by meals  known as Seders at the homes of friends and family.

Knowing that many Angelenos will be heading out to celebrate the holiday, the Department of Transportation, Bureau of Parking Enforcement and Traffic Control plans to relax certain parking restrictions in specific areas of the city.

Fifth District Councilmember Paul Koretz has sent out a letter stating that there will be relaxed "enforcement of street cleaning, time limit and preferential parking restrictions" for both the Passover holiday and the upcoming June holiday of Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) on June 7. However, Koretz also stated that meters, tow away zones and other safety violations will be enforced.

In Hollywood and nearby, the following areas will have "relaxed enforcement" as noted in the letter:

• The area bounded by Robertson Boulevard/La Cienega Boulevard to Rossmore Avenue/Queen Anne Place and from Pico Boulevard to Romaine Street.

• Are bounded by Robertson Boulevard to San Vincente and Beverly Boulevard to Clifton Way

• Area bounded by Olympic Boulevard to Melrose Avenue and from Fairfax Avenue to Hudson Avenue.

• Area bounded by Laureal Canyon Bouelvard to Hayworth Avenue and Sunset Boulevard to Selma Avenue

• Vermont Avenue on both sides from Fountain Avenue to Lexington Avenue

• La Mirada on both sides from Vermont Avenue to Lyman Place

• Lexingston Street on both sides from Vermont Avenue to Lyman Place
