Three Free Venice Lots Could Start Charging Under Parking Overhaul

VENICE - About 200 free parking spaces on Abbot Kinney Boulevard would become metered under a city proposal that would also make parking more expensive at municipal lots across Venice. The meters would cover Abbot Kinney between Main Street and Venice Boulevard. Three currently free city lots would begin charging, and six existing paid lots would see rate increases. The plan would change what drivers pay without adding street parking. Written comments must reach the city by the end of Nov. 24 to be considered before a decision on the coastal development permit. The proposed rate schedule shows increases for both quick stops and longer visits. In the seasonal subzones of the Venice and Washington-Pacific parking zones, street meter base rates would rise from $2 to $2.50 an hour in summer and from $1 to $1.50 in winter. Summer rates would apply May 1 through Sept. 30. The year-round subzones in those two parking zones would move from $1 to $1.50 an hour. Drivers could pay more than those base rates. Under LA Express Park's demand-based system, charges could fall to $1 an hour or rise to twice the applicable base rate, reaching $5 in some areas. For drivers using

LA, Orange County Gas Prices Continue Falling

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County dropped 1 cent Sunday to $5.827, its lowest amount since Sept. 2. The average price has fallen 36 times in the last 38 days. It is 15 cents less than one week ago and 55.4 cents less than one month ago, but 94.5 cents more than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It has risen $1.133 since the start of the joint U.S./Israel war on Iran on Feb. 28, which sent oil prices higher and drastically accelerated increases at the gas pump.
