 VENICE CA - Residents here in Venice, especially on Washington Boulevard, remain concerned over the number of permanently parked RVs overnight (2–6 AM) on certain streets that have called for a greater and wider discussion on the subject. While limited enforcement exists, many RVs remain parked long term despite those restrictions.

The city is moving to curb “van lording” (renting RVs), which could change how many of these vehicles are used. Locals are pushing for more aggressive towing + safe, designated parking spots, so RV dwellers aren’t just pushed further into residential street parking which led to the petition by Community Officer Clark Brown regarding Washington. A neighborhood wide assessment on the subject in the form of a Town Hall certainly has community support.

The Parking, Transportation &amp; Infrastructure Committee meeting of the Venice Neighborhood Council is scheduled to meet Monday, November 24th beginning at 6:30 PM at the Venice Library's Community Room.

All residents are welcome.

The PTIC is chaired by Community Officer Richard Stanger, and its members include Crystal Lopez, David Wolf, Selena Inouye, Ellen Schwartz, Amdrea Kemkes and Colin Warn.

The PTIC “evaluates existing and potential future conditions … relating to parking and transportation.” It also considers input from stakeholders (i.e., community members) about transportation and parking issues.

The PTIC’s role is to be the expert/advisory arm of the Venice Neighborhood Council on all things involving parking, transportation, and infrastructure.

According to the published agenda, this standing body will discuss through the VNC's Outreach Committee a potential "Town Hall" meeting on the issue of RV's illegally parked on the streets of Venice and what policies and enforcement could be implemented.

At the previous committee meeting, Chairman Stanger indicated he would update the community on the status RVs parked along Washington Boulevard through his interactions with DOT and LAPD.

The Town Hall was suggested based on the volume of RVs that currently occupy Washington Boulevard and what action the PTIC could recommend or suggest moving forward.

Residents of Washington Blvd are frustrated by the lack of action and support, and there is a minority bloc of VNC members seemingly determined and obsessed with preventing any real action from taking place. In clear contrast, Community Officer Clark Brown has been vigilant and determined some advisory action occur in cooperation with LA Councilwoman Traci Park (CD-11), who represents and resides in Venice.

The notion of a Town Hall would be scheduled in the Spring of 2026 if approved by the full committee. According to its standing rules, the VNC’s Outreach Committee (“Outreach &amp; Event Planning”) is tasked with organizing quarterly Stakeholder meetings, and three of those are generally Town Halls. There is also a defined “Event Producer” role to oversee Town Hall planning, including content, programming, and logistics.

Historically, the VNC has held Town Halls on specific topics — for example, an “All Hazards” Town Hall with LAFD, LAPD, Red Cross, etc. They also host candidate Town Halls during election cycles.

Also on the agenda is a motion to support a request by UCLA to shift its subway station site. UCLA has requested that the MTA shift the station west one-quarter of a mile to Gayley Avenue to avoid construction impacts at the central Gateway plaza location.

This will be the last meeting of the committee for 2025, and all residents are urged to attend.
