Yes — we plan parking at both ends before move day. Steep streets off Alvarado and near the lake need smaller trucks. We pull temporary no-parking permits when needed.
Leaving DTLA almost always means a high-rise — loading docks, freight-elevator windows and building COIs we line up in advance. Arriving in Echo Park brings steep, narrow streets and stair access, so we stage parking and sometimes a smaller shuttle truck. Both ends shape the timing more than the distance, so we lock parking and access on each side before move day.
