Los Angeles was already doing that in the downtown office 
district at least fifteen years ago.  There were (and probably 
are) streets with metered parking up until a certain time (I 
think it was 3 or maybe 4 PM.)  Then, that parking lane would 
suddenly become a, "No Stopping" red zone.

The tow trucks would arrive and line up every day, fifteen 
minutes before the deadline.  Waiting and ready to pounce, right 
at the magic moment.

So the general idea is old news.  It sounds like they are just 
doing the same thing in Mid-Wilshire and on the west side.
