Fixing L.A. Parking Parking is broken in Los Angeles. Sixty-dollar parking tickets, street sweeping at the crack of dawn and exclusive resident-only parking on city streets are just a few common gripes. Well, L.A. leaders are finally trying to fix some of these problems. The City Council’s Transportation Committee is going ahead with several reforms recommended by a working group set up by Mayor Garcetti.
Which Way, L.A.?
LA's Westside Faces a Slow-Pocalypse If you thought Westside traffic couldn't get any worse, it seems that public agencies are conspiring to achieve simultaneous disruption. The City of Santa Monica is about to start rebuilding the California Incline , which drops traffic down onto the Pacific Coast Highway. That's where LA County has extended a massive sewer repair at least until June. At the same time, Metro is bringing Expo Line construction down Colorado Boulevard almost to the Santa Monica Pier.

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
