Thanks to the Greater Wilshire NC for the following info…

Over the next 90 days, the Department of Transportation is posting new operating hours at parking meters.  These new operating hours were approved by the City Council in July 2008.  Since that time, the Department has been recalibrating and modernizing  parking meters, which now display the new operating hours on the “insert” inside the meters.  The next step in the process is to change the signs on the posts to agree with the hours displayed inside the meters.

The new operating hours are generally from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday, except in areas where peak period parking restrictions are in effect, as well as in some entertainment and/or shopping areas.  If new postings are scheduled within a particular NC area, you will receive advance notice of the work.  Please feel free to forward the advance notice to your colleagues, businesses, and others in your community to help us better inform communities as regards DOT activities.

Parking Enforcement will begin enforcing the new operating hours a few days after the new signs are installed.

From KNX News…

LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Los Angeles County Thursday released a new EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM.

Residents and businesses can now go online to register cell phones and e-mail addresses with the county so officials can send critical information instantly in the event of an emergency.

Land line phones are already being plugged in to the system.

LA County has implemented a system to notify people about emergencies in their neighborhood, or that effect the county generally. It will call your home telephone to provide information. It is already loaded with listed and unlisted numbers for normal telephone company phone lines (”land lines”).

But - if you want to be notified on your cell phone, or VOIP (voice over IP) telephone (for example, if you use Vonage, or your cable company’s telephone service), and, in particular, if you use these INSTEAD of a “land line,” then you need to register these alternative numbers. The web site to do this is:

Interestingly, the LA Times article about this says “The *city* of Los Angeles already has an emergency notification system for residents living in fire-prone, red-flag areas, but city officials will be able to access the county-wide system too.”
