Town Hall Tonight on Toluca Lake Parking Meters

Toluca Lake residents with questions or concerns about proposed parking meters along the busy Riverside Drive can pose them to a city engineer during a Monday night town hall.

The meet up, organized by LA City Councilman Tom LaBonge, is being held from 6-8 p.m. at Campo de Cahuenga, 3919 Lankershim Blvd.

Patch first reported on this issue last month. Click here to read the full story.

The councilman is moving forward with a trial meter program by having a handful of them installed in front of his field office at 10116 Riverside Dr. and later gather feedback about their effectiveness from nearby businesses.

If they're well-received, more could be installed along the street in the near future, said Ben Levin-Gesundheit, LaBonge's communications deputy, in a Patch article last month.

Some business owners expressed that meters and regulated parking would bring in more customers, while some shoppers and local residents said the proposed project's main aim is to generate revenue for the city.
