The city’s Preferential Parking Permit (PPP) program was reintroduced to the public at City Hall on Nov. 3. About 30 people were physically or virtually present at the Town Hall meeting to hear from police sergeants and provide feedback about changes relating to the program, which establishes permits to park in residential areas during non-overnight hours.
The meeting started with an overview of the current program, including reminders of three permits per household and how permits could be self-managed online or via phone. Ahead of the PPP’s proposed relaunch in 2023, Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) personnel were on hand to explain how the system would work moving forward and answer residents’ questions – particularly about “permit by plate,” or the use of license plates as an acceptable alternative to hangtags.
