In accordance with State and West Hollywood Municipal Codes the property owner is responsible for the ongoing installation and maintenance of the parkway landscape. The following guidelines are provided to instruct property owners on what they should and should not do with the parkway area:
- The private property owner (and not the City) is responsible for the installation, maintenance and grooming of the parkway including all walkable surfaces and all landscaping. This includes keeping areas free of weeds, dead foliage and spent flowers, and maintaining walkable surfaces level without any differences in elevation sufficient to be a nuisance or a hazard to pedestrians.
- The private property owner abutting any sidewalk or alley shall keep such sidewalk and alley in a clean and wholesome condition, and shall remove all dirt, rubbish and debris from such sidewalk or other adjacent area.
- Filling in of the parkway area with bricks, concrete, rocks, or any form of carpeting or astro-turf
is not allowed. Objects such as planters, large stones, statues, benches, and above grade lighting fixtures are not permitted in the parkway zone. Access to fire hydrants must not be impeded by foliage. - Fences of any height are not permitted in the parkway zone.
- Street trees in the parkway may not be installed, replaced, trimmed, or removed except by permission of the City's Landscape Maintenance Supervisor.
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. We are looking forward to making the community safer and more pleasant.
