Shortly after Los Angeles cleared dozens of RVs that had stationed themselves along Forest Lawn Drive, the city painted a long stretch of the curb red and banned parking in the busy street.
Nancy Sexton was elated when city crews cleared out more than 50 RVs in December that had been parked near her business for months, blocking parking spots and leaving behind trash and waste on Forest Lawn Drive. Then she realized the long stretch of road near Barham Boulevard in the Hollywood Hills was suddenly off limits for not just parked RVs, but all parked vehicles. Much of the the curb was painted red. No parking signs lined the sidewalk.
In a statement, Stahl credited the decision to limit parking to a request by the Los Angeles Fire Department, which called the area a 'high fire severity zone.' A 2019 brush fire in the area burned more than 30 acres and threatened homes and businesses. In a Sept. 19, 2023, letter, LAFD Assistant Chief Dean Zipperman asked the city Department of Transportation to install 'Tow Away No Stopping Any Time' restrictions on the road due to the stopped and parked vehicles there.
