Longtime 14th Street Hermosa Beach surfers Tamara Lentz, Steve Smith, and Peter Williams surf almost every morning until 10 a.m.without paying the downtown parking meters. But this week the Hermosa City council voted to begin downtown parking meter enforcement at 8 a.m. and to increase rates to $2 per hour. To accommodate frequent morning visitors to the downtown, the council also voted to offer parking meter permits valid from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. for $180 annually. Photo by Kevin Cody
