Special GAC meeting - tour busses

At the Chamber’s February GAC meeting, the Chamber announced that it would be holding a special GAC meeting devoted to the tour bus issue in Beverly Hills. This meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, March 26 from 4:00-5:30 p.m. at the Chamber Board Room located at 9400 S. Santa Monica Blvd., 2^nd Floor.

The goal of this meeting is to advance some of the discussions at the recent City Ad-Hoc and Council meetings towards possible solutions. These areas include hop-on-hop-off locations, staging areas, traffic enforcement and the presence of busses on Rodeo Drive.

 
Among the invited guests will be tour bus operators, interested merchants and hoteliers. We will also announce this meeting at our March 19 GAC meeting (which will proceed as normal) and seek the permission of the Rodeo Drive Committee to announce it at their March 11 meeting.

The City of Beverly Hills has been looking to further regulate tour bus usage in Beverly Hills. Some of these regulations regard staging locations and routes  (to read a recent city staff reports on efforts to regulate tour busses, click here; you can also watch a video of the last City Council meeting on the topic here).
