The Beverly Hills City Council declined to grant a resident petition to restrict street parking on South Crescent Drive between Charleville Boulevard and Gregory Way to all but permitted vehicles. Residents seeking to limit access claim that traffic from Beverly Vista Middle School and employee parking from nearby businesses has impacted quality of life on the street. Citing low occupancy data, the Council opted to revisit the petition no sooner than six months and no later than a year.
Residents filed the petition in late 2019, with 25 of 38 households requesting the modification to the existing one-hour parking limit. The Traffic and Parking Commission reviewed the petition in February of 2020. Based on the support from the community and similar parking restrictions approved on adjacent blocks, the commission recommended that the City Council approve the request.
