Live Oak Parking Program
The Live Oak Parking Program (LOPP), which was established to provide beach access for visitors and reduce traffic congestion in beach neighborhoods, will begin its 30th season on April 3, 2010, and run through September 6, 2010. (Area Map) As in previous years, motor vehicles parked in the road right-of-way during this time must display a valid Live Oak Parking Program permit, or a citation will be issued. Enforcement hours are 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and the following holidays: Monday, May 31 (Memorial Day), Sunday, July 4 (Independence Day), and Monday, September 6 (Labor Day), 2010.
HOW TO APPLY FOR A 2010 PERMIT:

We strongly encourage you to pick up your permits by Friday, April 2, 2010, before parking enforcement begins on Saturday, April 3, 2010. Please allow a two-week turnaround for permits to be mailed.
