Summary:The program aimed at problem drivers who park illegally during peak traffic hours will begin Aug. 27, [Tom Bradley] said. Initially, it will be conducted on six major streets within the city: Nordhoff Street, Ventura Boulevard, Highland Avenue, Los Feliz Boulevard, La Cienega Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard. Bradley predicted that the towing crackdown in particular "will actually add another lane of traffic by freeing up the curbside lane." According to city Department of Transportation estimates, Bradley said, a five-mile trip takes an average of 20 minutes to drive with cars parked in the curb lane. With the curb lanes clear, there could be "a net reduction in travel time of seven minutes," Bradley said. The program will be in force on these streets: Nordhoff Street between Tampa Avenue and the San Diego Freeway; Ventura Boulevard between Reseda Boulevard and the San Diego Freeway; Highland Avenue between Melrose Avenue and the Hollywood Freeway; Los Feliz Boulevard between Western Avenue and the Golden State Freeway; Olympic Boulevard between the cities of Commerce and Santa Monica, excluding Beverly Hills, and on La Cienega Boulevard between Olympic Boulevard and Culver City.
