What this means

The committee expanded the area where parking meters apply in the Santa Monica-Highland neighborhood, so parking enforcement and meter fees will apply in the newly included streets. The committee approved steps to require autonomous vehicle operators to share operations data and follow local hiring commitments, and reviewed planning comments for the Mission Mile Sepulveda safety and activation project. It also placed limits on oversized vehicle parking on several local streets and approved applying for local Measure M transportation funds, which is a step toward getting money for local transportation projects. One item about making City properties available for filming was continued to a later date.
