At least five consecutive vehicles continue to remain parked for weeks, in front of Barry Carpet and Vista Paint.
by Nick Antonicello
A plethora of permanently and illegally parked panel trucks, campers and Winnebago’s are occupying pedestrian spaces directly across from WHOLE Foods on Lincoln and the number of vehicles is increasing.
The image you see here was taken Friday afternoon (3/15) as we now count five vehicles now approaching the Venice/Santa Monica border.
One newly parked bus which is badly rusted is now occupying additional parking no longer available for shoppers or those needing those spaces to visit the businesses in that particular locale.
This represents just another stretch of Lincoln that has been taken hostage by vehicles that have no intention of leaving until city officials have them removed.
While we saw some movement in the RV and camper crisis at South Venice Boulevard, the conditions on Lincoln are accumulating and becoming more and more obvious.
Sources tell Yo! Venice that complaints have been lodged with CD-11 and that efforts to have these vehicles moved are pending.
Yo! Venice will continue to monitor the situation until clearance of this collection of campers is finally removed.
