Ventura Boulevard goes past 6

Parking times Change in Sherman Oaks

Don’t get caught relying on old habits when taking a parking space on Ventura Boulevard. I parked last week after 6 pm and waived off the suggestion of my 10 year old daughter to feed the meter as I knew that meters were not active after 6 pm. We had a great bite to eat and were returning to our car when I notice a Parking Officer happily writing out a ticket on a car up the street from mine. I looked up at one of the conveniently placed signs that was nice and shiny due to the fact the times have been changed to extend the hours of enforcement until 8 pm at night instead of the old 6 pm. Of course, returning to my car a $48 ticket was waiting on my windshield. I rarely get tickets as I just see it as a miserable waste of money. I would rather walk a mile than have to pay that ticket fee. So it is really irksome that I got tricked into this ticket. Oh well, I will just pay it and realize that in these econonic times, the city is searching for every way to make another buck so I need to take nothing for granted and read every sign when parking on Ventura Boulevard in the Sherman Oaks Area.
