A
A
A
today,
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues
in
order
to
write
with
good
sponsor
Gabriella
Coletta
councilor,
Liz,
Braden
and
councilor
Lucy
Louis
Jang
I
would
first
like
to
give
it
opening
statements
for
my
counselor
colleagues

then
turn
it
over
to
the
panel
for
testimony
and
Order
arrival,
and
every
Council

two
to

opening
statements.
C
Thank
you,
Vice
chair
for
opening
up
your
schedule
and
allowing
us
to
have
this
hearing
I
want
to
thank
my
co-sponsor,
Council
Faraday,
who
I
believe
is
going
to
be
joining
us
shortly.
I
want
to
thank
my
other
colleagues,
Council
Braden
Council
regen
for
joining
us.
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
who
have
joined
us
from
the
administration.
I
introduced
this
hearing
order,
because
I
just
hear
parking
is
a
huge
issue.
C
Tough
concern
for
my
constituents
and
the
purpose
of
this
hearing
is
twofold:
one:
to
provide
a
general
overview
of
parking
regulations
and
enforcement
of
the
city
of
Boston,
so
long
as
I've,
been
in
Aid
and
or
counselor
I.
Don't
think.
We've
had
in-depth
conversations
like
this
about
parking
regulations
or
enforcement
in
the
city,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
and
identifying
any
gaps
in
service
and
two
better
understanding
our
internal
systems
that
track
these
regulations.
C
People
understand
what
they
can
see,
but
not
too
many
people
know
about
what
happens
on
the
back
end,
what
our
internal
systems
look
like
and
how
it
best
Services
the
city
and
sometimes
how
we
are
falling
short.
My
understanding
is
is
that
we
have
some
work
ongoing
and
we'll
hear
from
Senti
about
that
on
how
we
are
internalizing.
Our
our
systems,
but
like
I
said
parking
is
a
top
issue.
District
one
is
extremely
dense.
C
We
have
exponential
growth,
bringing
in
more
and
more
residents
with
little
to
no
off
street
parking
in
East
Boston
Charlestown
in
the
North
End
and
I
know
that
this
is
something
that
is
felt
across.
The
city
of
Boston
anecdotally,
on
street
parking
rags
in
my
district
are
almost
like
an
ad
hoc
Patchwork
of
regulations,
with
the
exception
of
Eagle
Hill
residential
parking,
the
eagle
Hill
residential
parking
program.
There
is
limited
consistency
within
commercial
and
residential
neighborhoods,
for
example,
in
in
East,
Boston
alone.
C
There's
residential
parking
from
6
a.m,
to
6
p.m,
and
some
areas
at
6
pm
to
6
a.m
want
to
just
basically
understand
for
for
myself,
my
colleagues
and
then
folks
listening.
You
know
why
why
that
is
in
commercial
districts,
there's
sometimes
15
minutes.
There's
two
hours,
there's
metered
parking.
Whenever
we've
asked
for
metered
parking
that
doesn't
really
go
anywhere,
and
so
I
would
love
to
understand
what
the
thought
process
thought
process
is
around
instituting
meter
parking
across
the
city.
C
I'll
often
ask
why
signage
is
in
one
particular
area
and
it's
always
a
legacy
of
decisions
made
before
the
present,
and
no
one
really
has
an
answer
for
that,
and
it's
not
anybody's
fault
up
here,
but
it's
almost
like.
Why
did
this
get
here
and
somebody
some
at
some
point
made
a
decision
and
it
just
has
no
rationale.
C
I
also
understand
that
BTD
has
stalled
all
new
residential
parking
program
applications,
so
I'd
love
to
understand,
what's
going
on
with
that
and
timeline
and
enforcement.
So
what
happens
across
the
city
from
what
I've
seen
is
just
catch
up?
C
There's
no
tracking
mechanism
of
where
our
city
assets
are,
and
therefore
we
don't
actually
know
by
looking
at
a
computer
or
anything
on
our
phones
through
any
sort
of
application
or
technological
system
where
the
regulations
are
across
the
city,
and
so
that
is
why
I
introduced
this
I.
Do
think
that
if
we
were
to
have
something
like
that,
maybe
as
simple
as
a
GIS
system,
although
my
understanding
is
that,
but
we
have
at
the
assessment,
Department
Public,
Works
involved
in
all
of
this.
C
So
having
this
conversation
out
in
the
open,
I
think
is
helpful
for
all
of
us.
It
shows
that
it
shows
to
Residents
that
we
are
working
on
this
city.
Government
is
doing
what
it's,
what
it
can
to
better
its
own
system,
so
that
we
can
best
serve
the
residents
of
Boston.
So
I
look
forward
to
your
testimony.
I
look
forward
to
getting
into
questions
and
just
the
conversation
in
general.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Thank
you
thank
you
and
thank
you
everyone
for
being
here
this
morning,
I
I'm,
not
going
to
repeat
I,
think
councilor
colletta's
experience
in
district
one
is
very
similar
to
ours
in
District,
9
and
Austin
Brighton,
and
we
have
a
few
funky
anomalies
in
our
in
our
situation,
and
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I
know,
it's
been
very
challenging.
We
talked
to
your
department
is
probably
one
of
the
Departments.
We
talked
to
BTD.
We
talk
to
you
almost
every
day,
maybe
multiple
times
in
a
day
on
all
sorts
of
issues.
D
So
the
things
we
have
to
contend
with.
We,
we
one
of
the
big
issues,
is
that
in
Olson
Brighton
we
are,
we
are
contiguous
with
all
with
Newton
and
Brookline.
They
do
not
allow
overnight
parking.
So
where
do
the
folks
in
Newton
and
Brookline
Park,
they
Park
in
Brighton
and
Austin,
and
then
the
folks
who
live
in
Austin
can
park
in
their
old
streets.
So
this
is
a
real
big
problem.
We
have
students
who
bring
cars
to
college
and
park
park
in
the
neighborhood.
D
D
We
need
to
talk
to
the
universities
and
encouraging
our
students
not
to
bring
their
cars
to
the
city,
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
residential
development
in
which
parking
ratios
are
very
low,
and
but
the
fact
is
that
residents
of
those
space,
those
new
buildings,
still
bring
a
car,
they
still
have
a
car,
but
they
want
to
park
it
in
the
street
and
we've
been
trying
to
get
a
system
whereby,
if
you
at
least
as
a
language
in
the
least
it
would
say
you
you
understand
that
this
is
a
low
parking
ratio.
D
The
idea
is
to
try
and
use
alternative
methods
of
getting
around
use
the
T.
If
we
have,
we
have
Transit
oriented
development.
You
you
shouldn't,
be
parking
your
car
on
the
street,
if
and
and
really
trying
to
enforce
that
in
other
cities
manage
to
do
it.
If
you're
in
a
building
like
that
this
this
language
in
your
lease,
you
don't
get
a
resident
parking
sticker.
The
fact
of
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
nobody's
getting
a
resident
parking
stickers
at
the
moment,
so
the
folks.
D
The
other
issue,
is
that
in
this,
in
these
new
residential
developments,
parking
is
very,
very
expensive.
I
can
understand
the
economics
if
it's
a
choice
between
paying
250
or
300
a
month
to
park
your
car
in
the
garage
you're
going
to
park
on
the
street.
If
you
can
so
we
don't,
we
don't
have
any.
We
don't
have
any
control
over
that,
but
we
really
need
to
sort
of
grapple
with
that
we're
seeing
tens
of
thousands
of
new
units
of
housing
in
our
neighborhood,
similar
to
East
Boston
and
it's
causing
Havoc
at
the
moment.
D
The
other
issue
we
have
an
awesome
Brighton
is
that
we
have
many
of
our
roads
are
controlled
by
DCR,
so
that
again
adds
another
level
of
confusion
on
on
dares
for
street
cleaning.
Sometimes
the
days
the
city
claims
the
street
on
the
same
day
as
a
DCR,
so
there's
literally
nowhere
people
to
put
their
car
you're
sort
of
stymied,
no
matter
where
you
go
you're
going
to
get
ticketed
and
told
so
so
it's
it's
a
complex
situation,
I
think
having
better
data
and
information
is
going
to
be
really
helpful.
D
But
you
know
this
is
I've,
been
working
on
this
issue
now,
probably
for
three
and
a
half
years
that
have
been
in
office
and
I'm
really
delighted
that
we're
sort
of
tackling
this
and
hopefully
coming
up
with
some
solutions
and
I'm
I'm
I,
want
to
be
a
partner
with
you
folks
to
help
I
for
my
personally
to
understand
what
what
the
situation
is
on
the
ground
and
how
we
might
be
of
assistance
in
our
office
to
help
address
the
concerns
of
our
neighborhood
residents
in
Austin
Brighton.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
chair
oral
and
I
want
to
thank
councilor,
Coletta
and
councilor
Flaherty
for
their
leadership
on
this
issue.
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
the
points
that
my
District
counselor
colleagues
have
made
as
an
at-lord
city
council.
We
just
hear
about
parking
enforcement
issues
around
the
city,
and
so
what
excites
me
is
that
we
have
Chief
Garces
here
to
really
think
about
digitization
and
think
about
how
we,
our
you
know.
E
We
tend
to
set
the
example
as
a
city
in
a
lot
of
areas
and
I
think
that
this
is
one
as
well
I.
Second,
my
colleagues
in
hearing
from
residents
all
of
the
time
about
parking
issues
and
parking
confusion
when
it
comes
to
making
sure
we
are
prioritizing
a
simplification
of
information
to
our
residents
and
making
sure
that
we
are
prioritizing
the
needs
of
our
residents
who
have
cars
I,
think
it.
E
We
have
a
very
tight
City
and
it's
where
it's
a
finite
number
of
parking
that's
available,
but
I
think
we
can
maybe
try
to
think
about
Solutions.
E
You
know
councilor
Braden
brought
up
the
fact
that
she
hears
from
residents
who
are
living
buildings,
who
that,
where
parking
is
very
expensive,
we
especially
hear
that
from
people
who
got
an
affordable
unit
in
one
of
these
buildings,
where
the
unit
is
subsidized,
but
parking
is
not
so
is
there
a
way
to
assist
those
residents
or
give
them
some
sort
of
priority
when
we're
thinking
about
Resident
parking
and
things
of
that
nature.
E
But
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
their
leadership,
and
my
staff
will
be
here
even
when
I
am
not
to
listen
and
to
give
feedback
to
my
colleagues
and
to
the
administration.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
in
this
robust
panel
and
for
all
the
work
you're
doing
behalf
of
the
city.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
president
Flynn
opening
statement.
A
Awesome
and
now
we're
I've
been
joined
here
by
the
administration,
Nick
Grove
Gove,
deputy
chief
for
transportation
for
the
Boston
transportation
department,
Santiago
Garces,
Chief,
Information
officer,
Department
of
innovation
and
Technology
Rocco
Corey
lot:
coriando,
okay
assistant
parking
enforcement,
Boston
transportation
department,
Darrell
Brothers
parking
enforcement
officer,
Boston
transportation
department,
Stephen,
McGuire,
Parking,
Clerk,
Boston
transportation,
department,
Amy.
G
G
So
the
city
of
Boston
traffic
rules
and
regulations
were
adopted
under
the
authority
granted
by
chapter
263
of
the
acts
of
1929
as
amended
in
other
applicable
laws.
The
current
regs
were
last
amended
on
November,
1st,
2012
and
BTD
is
currently
working
on
an
effort
to
hopefully
revise
those
regulations
later
this
year.
So
much
of
what
we'll
be
talking
about
today
will
hopefully
be
captured
in
that
effort.
G
G
The
team
Works
five
shifts
a
day
Monday
through
Saturday,
the
toe
and
hold
division
runs
boot
runs
the
booting
and
towing
program
and
also
supports
Public
Safety
and
special

Operations,
city-wide
the
systems
and
Operations
Division
runs
the
enforcement
dispatch
operations
for
both
parking
enforcement
and
the
tone
hold
team,
collects
parking,
violation,
fines
and
abandoned
fee
vehicles
of
abandoned
vehicle
fees
and
manages
the
city
of
Boston
Tow
Lot,
located
at
200
Frontage
Road.
The
tow
lot
is
open,
Monday
through
Friday
7
A.M
to
10
30
p.m.
G
As
everyone
knows,
during
Co
during
the
covid-19
pandemic,
the
RPP
program
was
temporarily
put
on
hold
and
and
neighborhood
stickers
were
Auto
renewed.
Now
that
we're
we're
turning
to
our
regular
renewal
process,
the
office
of
the
Parking
Clerk
is
conducting
an
audit
of
each
neighborhood
as
to
work
on.
You
know
the
basically
the
the
resident
stickers
that
aren't
supposed
to
be
in
the
system.
We
started
with
a
small
neighborhood
in
Bay
Village,
with
with
which
has
677
active
stickers.
G
G
We
will
continue
this
effort
through
all
of
the
rest
of
the
20
additional
neighborhoods,
with
an
RPP
program
moving
on
to
kind
of
the
technology
that
helps
support
this
effort,
so
conduit
state
and
local
solution
is
the
vendor
that
provides
and
services,
btd's
parking
violation
and
parking
management
information
system.
The
parking
technology
and
services
provided
by
Conduit
includes
all
the
hardware
and
software
associated
with
the
issuance
and
collection
of
parking
violations.
G
That
is
the
current
system
that
we
use
across
the
the
department
right
now.
What
I
want
to
talk
about
next
is
a
system
for
Asset
Management
that
we
are
currently
in
the
process
of
implementing,
so
BTD
is
in
the
process
of
implementing
the
cartograph
asset
management
system.
We
believe
this
asset
management
system
will
change
the
way
we
plan
prioritize
and
scheduled
work
to
a
model
that
is
more
transparent,
responsive
and
efficient.
G
Cartograph
will
also
help
modernize
processes
and
workflow
for
the
future.
Creation
of
a
digital
regulation.
Database
cartograph
or
any
asset
management
system
cannot
replace
the
important
planning
regulation
work.
The
BTT
team
does
every
day,
but
it
will
be
an
important
tool
in
the
development
of
how
we
regulate
and
manage
the
curve
moving
forward.
G
More
reliable
asset
data
will
allow
BTD
in
public
works
planners
engineers
and
operations
staff
to
spend
less
time
on
administrative
tasks
and
devote
more
time
to
designating
and
building
our
streets
and
curbs
for
their
best
uses.
There
are
other
tools.
The
BTD
policy
and
planning
team
continues
to
explore.
For
example,
we
partnered
with
a
technology
company
and
piloted
software
that
ingests
parking
meter
data
and
predicts
parking
utilization
based
on
past
Behavior.
G
The
tool
can
also
provide
information
on
the
number
of
parking
events
where
meters
are
not
paid
and
the
time
of
day
when
these
events
are
most
likely
to
occur.
We
are
also
working
with
a
camera
based
technology
system
to
better
manage
curb
space,
increase
vehicle
turnover
and
undertake
parking
and
curb
access
Behavior.
G
The
cameras
can't
be
used
to
charge
a
fee
to
access
the
carb,
but
but
much
like
a
parking
meter.
The
camera
sorry
cannot
be
used
to
access
the
car
much
like
a
park
near
but
done
automatically.
Thus,
eliminating
the
opportunity
to
park
without
paying
the
cameras
can
also
gather
data
on
parking
violations
such
as
staying
past,
the
limit
at
a
meter
double
parking
or
parking
in
a
bus
or
bike
lane.
G
While
we
cannot
issue
ticket
violations
via
camera,
this
data
can
be
used
to
identify
the
areas
and
times
of
day
where
the
illegal
behavior
is
occurring,
and
this
information
can
be
used
to
strategically
deploy
enforcement
resources.
Lastly,
we
plan
to
explore
the
expanded
use
of
license
plate
recognition,
recognition,
software
systems,
the
LPR
systems
I
referenced
earlier,
that
can
quickly
scan
vehicles
and
identify
parking
violations.
This
will
allow
the
parking
enforcement
team
to
cover
more
ground
and
allow
our
resources
to
go
further
collectively.
G
These
processes
and
Technology
improvements
will
support
how
parking
policy
decisions
are
made
and
implemented.
Btd
policy
and
planning,
BTD
engineering
and
BTD
operations
are
working
together
to
respond
to
311
requests
for
curb
regulation
changes
and
other
maintenance
needs
that
come
up
throughout
the
course
of
our
daily
lives.
Btd
is
now
taking
a
proactive
approach
to
implementing
curb
regulation
policies
that
address
the
demand
for
curb
space
generated
by
surrounding
land
use.
G
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
data
points
from
enforcement,
just
to
help
understand
the
scope
of
the
work
that
this
team
does
every
day.
So
currently
we
have
125
5161
active
permits,
residential
parking
permits
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
the
22
neighborhoods
that
we
have
that
program,
I
added
I
added
the
top
three,
which
is
South
Boston
has
28
906
Brighton
has
16
859
and
the
south
end
has
15
649.
G
Moving
moving
forward,
there's
there's
some
other
components
of
of
the
the
mapping
related
to
to
cartograph
that
we
can
potentially
answer
as
we
move
into
the
the
questions.
But
Amy
is
there
anything
else
you
want
to
add
on
autograph
before
we
open
until.
I
J
Because,
well,
this
lights
go
up:
I'm,
Santiago,
Garces
I
am
the
rosante
Garces
I'm
the
Chief
Information
officer
for
the
city
work,
and
do
it
sit
right
across
the
hallway
from
BTD?
So,
as
a
commissioner
gov
mentioned,
our
job
is
to
support
the
outcomes.
The
technology
and
the
data
are
there
to
help
facilitate
outcomes.
They're,
not
a
replacement
for
the
thinking
and
the
strategy
around
the
parking
regulations
and
I.
J
Don't
think
that
there's
just
one
Silver
Bullet
that's
going
to
go
on
solve
all
problems
and,
as
we've
talked
in
the
past,
I
think
that
they
we're
on
a
journey
to
build
the
capabilities
to
be
able
to
have
the
kinds
of
experiences
that
we
want
our
residents
to
have
and
that
we
want
that
our
employees
to
have-
and
it's
just
going
to
take
a
while.
But
I,
want
to
share
with
you
where
we
are
on
that
Journey,
so
that
you
we
can
work
together
and
they
work
that
we
do
is
funded
and
supported
by
UL.
J
J
When
I'm
in
a
minute,
we'll
have
the
slides,
but
in
in
the
past
year,
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
BTD
as
they
had
embarked
in
their
journey
and
asset
management
and
work
order,
management
and
again.
The
idea
here
is
that
if
we
have
a
way
of
thinking
about
the
different
specific
assets
that
we
have
in
the
right
of
way
about
the
polls
about
the
signs
about
the
the
signals
about
the
striping
that
we
have
an
ability
of
being
intentionally
knowing,
how
is
it
that
we're
planning?
What
is
the
life
cycle?
J
How
long
has
the
sign
been
up?
Is
it
fading,
be
able
to
tie
work
order
specifically
to
an
acid,
hopefully
be
able
to
tie
in
residence
concerns,
or
constituents
concerns
around
a
particular
issue,
not
just
with
street
sign
on
the
200
block
of
Congress?
We
know
which
particular
street
sign
is
having
issues,
so
that's
kind
of
the
journey
that
burned
yeah
so.
J
As
as
we
mentioned,
the
BTD
had
been
undergoing
this
this
process
of
implementing
cartograph
as
as
a
asset
management
system,
but
one
of
the
key
things
that
you
need
to
be
able
to
do.
The
tie
with
asset
management
is
have
a
digital
representation
of
those
acids
and
fundamentally
cartograph
is
an
add-on
on
top
of
the
gis
system.
J
It's
an
application
that
allows
the
crews
and
the
people
in
the
back
office
to
be
able
to
interact
with
information
that
is
geospatial
in
order
to
get
those
acids
that
Baseline,
because
we
don't
have
a
digital
representation
of
of
those
acids.
We
have
been
working
over
the
past
year
to
Leverage
the
the
assessing
Department
in
the
past,
and
current
practice
has
been
contracting
with
a
company
called
cyclomedia
that
basically
drives
around
like
the
Google
Street
View
car.
J
It's
a
car
that
has
lidar,
it
has
advanced
sensors,
very
high
resolution
photography
and
it
drives
around
city
and
with
the
city,
has
been
using
that
system
to
capture
information
about
the
right-of-way,
mostly
for
us
SM
purposes,
to
be
able
to
see
if
properties
vacant
or
occupied,
to
be
able
to
see
characteristics
that
feed
into
the
assessment
process.
J
However,
based
on
previous
experience
and
other
things,
we
our
department
believed
that
you
could.
We
could
leverage
that
data
that
we
have
from
cyclamedia
to
extract
information.
That
would
be
the
acid
representation
of
the
different
pieces
that
BTD
and
Public
Works
cared
about,
which
would
give
us
out
of
the
Jazz
information
that
we
we've
we've
never
had.
J
The
advantage
of
working
with
cyclomedia
is
again
we're
already
leveraging
the
fact
that
we've
done
the
collection
in
the
field,
they're
a
company
that
do
a
lot
of
work
and
the
space
across
the
U.S
and
and
other
in
other
countries,
and
when
I
was
CIO
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
We
used
cyclomedia
and
cartograph
for
asset
management
and
recycled
media
to
extract
information
about
some
key
assets
of
my
experiences
worked.
Well,
so
we've
been
working
with
btdn
with
Amy
to
Define.
What
are
those
assets?
J
J
So,
if
you
see
a
little
bit
my
my
timeline,
we're
pretty
optimistic
that
by
December
of
this
year,
we'll
get
that
initial
run
at
the
initial
extraction
of
data,
which
is
going
to
be
great
again
like,
and
it
includes
a
lot
of
assets
that
are
important
to
parking
enforcement.
It'll
include
information
about
the
parking
meters,
they'll,
be
able
to
extract
information
about
the
the
meter
number
we'll
have
information
about
the
parking
signs
which
are.
J
These
are
the
final,
the
regulations
and
the
right-of-way
now
because
there's
so
many
signs
and
so
much
different,
so
much
information
in
that
first
extraction.
We're
not
expecting
that
we're
going
to
get
like
really
high
level
of
classification,
we're
not
going
to
necessarily
be
able
to
tell
you
that
this
parking
sign
restricts
parking
for
residents,
except
on
Thursdays
from
Midnight
to
4,
because
there's
curb
like
that.
That
level
of
detail
will
probably
not
be
extractable
at
the
first
round.
J
What
does
the
sign
say
it's
a
little
bit
less
sophisticated,
but
but
I
think
that
making
progress
towards
building
these
things
and
building
off
of
the
work,
the
BTD
and
we're
working
with
public
works
and
thanks
to
the
the
funding
for
next
year
for
for
this
fiscal
year
for
constituent
services,
we'll
continue
to
build
off
of
the
data
and
that
investment
to
build
our
cartograph
implementation
and
to
be
able
to
transform
as
well
there
our
3-1-1
system,
our
our
CRM,
to
be
able
to
fit
into
these.
J
In
terms
of
the
data
of
like
what
is
it,
the
design
say,
being
able
to
get
closer
to
understand,
both
to
support
the
planning
effort
to
be
able
to
relate
it
to
other
data
enforcement
data,
some
of
the
other
sensors
right
now,
a
lot
of
these
systems
are
not
talking
to
each
other,
there's
not
kind
of
like
the
level
of
integration.
J
So
again,
I
think
just
to
emphasize
we're
on
a
journey.
I
think
that
we're
making
good
steps
towards
being
able
to
build
the
foundations
being
able
to
extract
the
basic
data
that
that
gives
us
a
shot
at
trying
to
understand
both
like
what
is
it
that
we
have
available
in
terms
of
regulations
to
be
able
to
help
the
crews
that
are
in
the
field
be
able
to
know
what
you
know
like
when
they
have
a
work
order,
which
sign
is
it
that
they
have
to
be
fixing
and
replacing
or
inspecting
and
being
able
to
have.
J
The
data
be
also
a
place
where
the
constituents
and
the
crews
are
kind
of
coming
together,
because
they
know
that
they're
talking
about
the
same
thing,
it'll
take
I,
think
a
couple
of
years
to
be
able
to
get
to
a
place
where
you're
truly,
you
know
like,
maybe
in
a
few
years
you'll
be
able
to
see.
You
know
like
even
as
you're
trying
to
pay
for
parking.
Where
could
you
park,
given
the
restrictions
that
you
have
the
kind
of
experience
that
I
think
that
that's
where
we
want
to
go?
J
A
Thank
you.
Anybody
else
for
a
presentation.
It
was
awesome
now
go
to
my
colleagues
for
first
round
of
questions.
Let's
go
to
council
Coletta.
C
Wow
this
is
so
enlightening.
There
is
so
much
that's
that's
going
on
behind
the
scenes
and
just
hearing
Nick
and
excuse
me.
Deputy
Chief
and
commissioner
and
chief
Garces
talk
about
the
the
data
collection
and
what's
already
happened
and
the
Contracting
and
it
just
there's
so
much
work.
C
That
does
happen
behind
the
scenes
and
it
will
take
a
lot
of
coordination
and
collaboration
to
get
it
to
where
our
vision
is
time
to
you,
because
that
customer
experience
is
exactly
what
I'm
thinking
of
I
think
of
our
residents
as
customers
to
service,
which
is
municipal
government.
So
that
is
where
I
hope
to
get
all
of
us
one
day,
but
I
do
understand
knowing
exactly
what
it
took
to
get
us
even
to
this
point
with
cycle
media
and
everything
else
how
how
long
this
is
actually
going
to
take
in
the
timeline.
C
But
super
enlightening
and
super
helpful
I
had
prepared
questions,
but
you
all
pretty
much
covered
them
in
your
presentation.
So
just
some
specific
questions
about
so
that
the
contracts
that
we
have
with
cycle
media.
We
talked
about
geospatial
audit
of
City
Assets
in
the
public
realm.
That
work
has
already
happened.
There
needs
to
be
a
contract.
Again.
C
Is
my
understanding
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
with
cycle
media,
to
extract
the
assets
from
this
audit,
I'm
wondering
what
what
that
cost
might
be
and
if
the
additional
250
000
that
came
in
the
budget
is
going
to
go
directly
to
that
or
where
exactly
that
money
is,
is
going.
J
Yeah
I
can
speak
a
little
bit
about
that,
so
the
contracted,
assessing
has
with
cyclo
media
again
covers
that
basic
capturing
of
information,
and
that
was
awarded
in
the
early
spring
for
the
exact
dollar
amount,
that
is
around
300
000
a
year,
and
they
do
it
yearly
again
for
for
assessing
purposes.
J
We
have
a
quote
and
we're
we're
pursuing
a
contract
under
GSA
with
cyclomedia,
so
that
we
already
have
like
an
approved
Federal
contract
to
be
able
to
do
this
work
and
again
there's
the
advantages
of
of
working
with
cycle
media,
because
they've
already
run
kind
of
the
cars
around
the
city.
So
we
are
looking
at
about
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
data,
so
on
top
of
that
kind
of
initial
data
acquisition,
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
what
covers
the
extraction
of
data
as
GIS
points
that
can
be
tied
into
cartograph
and
all
these
other
systems.
J
Fortunately,
there
there
is
funding
Capital
funding
that
BTD
has
that
should
cover
most
of
this
work,
but
the
Investments
that
you
all
supported
in
this
budget
process
is
what
gives
us
the
technical
capacity
to
be
able
to
get
from
kind
of
that
initial
dump
to
be
able
to
get
more
refined
in
terms
of
the
description
of
the
different
assets.
J
So
we're
we're
working
on
how
to
operational
these
pieces
and
again,
like
our
vision,
is
that
this
works
to
the
extent
that
it
helps
to
tie
in
the
resident
experience
the
workforce,
experience
and
kind
of
really
having
all
these
systems
tied
together,
based
on
like
the
gis
investment,
so
that
The
second
contract
is
just
going
to
be
extracting
the
data.
That
right
now
is
just
like
pictures.
It's
almost
like
Google,
going
from
Google
Drive
to
GIS
is
what
the
the
extraction
covers.
All.
C
Right,
thank
you
for
that,
and
so
there's
there's
conduit
and
there's
cartograph
we're
doing
cycle
media,
which
is
the
back
end
and
just
Gathering
all
the
information.
The
manifestation
of
all
this
work
is
our
lovely
Enforcement
Officers
walking
the
streets
enforcing
the
the
regulations.
C
What
what
is
what
is
their
average
day
like
in
in
understanding
exactly
what
is
going
on
in
the
streets?
How
does
their?
How
does
that
dictate
their
schedule?
Are
you
being
more
reactive,
two,
three
one
one
or
do
you
have
set
routes
where
you're
driving
through
the
neighborhoods
I
I'm
just
trying
to
process
this
in
my
brain
to
better
understand
what
the
daily
work
flow
looks
like
for
our
enforcement
officers.
K
Thank
you
for
that
question.
So
the
and
Daryl
can
back
me
up
as
much
the
enforcement
officers
have
set
routes.
They
have
their
roots
that
they
undertake
every
single
day.
They
change
monthly,
so
that
they're
not
stuck
in
a
certain
neighborhood
for
the
entire.
You
know
tour,
so
they
they're
street
cleaning
whenever
that's
taken
place.
That
takes
a
priorities,
because
if
we
don't
attack,
if
we
don't
take
it,
they
can't
be
towed.
K
If
they
can't
be
towed,
the
street
can't
be
cleaned,
but
we
also
do
respond
to
the
301
service
requests
as
they
come
in
as
well
as
the
calls
that
come
directly
to
the
office.
We
try
to
manage
the
workload
as
best
as
possible.
So
if,
if
a
call
comes
in
where
we
have
an
officer
near
then
we'll
ask
that
officer
to
head
over
and
investigate
issue
the
violation
or
anything
like
that,
we
time
Vehicles.
K
So
we
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
there
when
the
Call
Comes
in
so
a
lot
of
this
happens
where
a
constituent
will
call
us
and
say
that
the
vehicle
has
been
there
for
over
an
hour.
That
may
be
the
case,
but
for
enough
from
our
perspective,
it's
when
we
get
there
that
the
time
starts.
So
we
we
start
timing
the
vehicle
there,
but
essentially
they
have
their
Roots.
They
have
their
assignments.
They
use
the
signs
posted
as
much
as
everybody
else
does.
K
There's
a
lot
of
institutional
knowledge,
but
we
also
do
have
a
fairly
young
staff
that
has
started
over
the
last
few
years,
so
they're
still
Gathering.
All
that
knowledge.
We
mostly
rely
on
the
Conduit
technology
for
day-to-day
usage,
the
handheld,
the
printer,
we're
not
at
a
point
yet
where
cartograph
or
anything
else
has
come
into
play.
But
it
is
an
ongoing
conversations
like
they
said.
So
that's
pretty
much
it.
Okay.
C
I
have
one
more
question
based
on
the
vice
chairs
suggestion
so
and
then
I'll
come
back
for
another
round,
because
I
do
have
I
do
have
some
more
but
I.
Think
for
this
round.
I'll
just
ask
just
based
on
your
presentation
we're
looking
at
June
2024,
where
we
will
have
the
assets.
Signs
will
be
digitized
and
partially
classified
workflows
for
deployment
replacement
and
removal
will
also
be
digitized.
So
by
June
2024.
We
should
have
a
broad
overview,
we're
not
getting
into
the
specifics
of
Thursday
night
at
6
PM
until
6
a.m.
C
I
understand
that
one
day
I
hope
we
do,
but
the
broad
overview
is
something
that
we
will
have,
and
so
will
there
be
a
holistic
review
of
what
is
happening
in
commercial
districts
in
residential
districts?
Are
we
going
to
reform
what
is
already
on
the
streets
in
the
city
of
Boston,
based
on
on
planning
and
and
what
we
end
up
getting
yeah.
G
You
know,
use
of
the
curb
today
in
making
changes,
but
but
having
all
of
this
data
in
in
one
place
will
will
allow
us
to
look
much
more
efficiently,
city-wide,
so
I
think
the
both
the
combination
of
having
all
of
this
data
in
in
one
place,
that's
accessible
in
in
easy
to
kind
of
review
for
changes,
coupled
with
the
the
changes
that
will
likely
be
coming
as
part
of
the
the
regulations
that
that
is
a
logical
time,
I
think
to
to
look
at
making
making
large-scale
changes.
Great.
C
And
just
one
last
thing:
hearing
97
million
dollars
in
Revenue
just
from
this
last
fiscal
year,
right,
20,
2023.,
that's
jarring!
To
me,
I
think
that
that's
that's
excellent.
We
need
that
Revenue,
obviously
to
carry
out
day-to-day
services
in
the
city
of
Boston,
the
more
efficient
we
are,
the
more
Revenue
we'll
take
in
and
I
think.
That's
that's
a
good
thing
for
the
city
of
Boston.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
Council
Coletta,
and
just
for
my
other
colleagues,
Council
Braden,
Council
Flynn,
six
minutes
for
questions
and
it
will
come
around
for
a
second
round
of
questions.
Council
buried
into
floor
is
yours.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I'm,
very
excited
that
we're
using
the
money
to
improve
our
systems
and
have
better
data
on
what's
happening
on
the
ground.
A
few
questions,
I'm
delighted
and
just
out
of
curiosity,
how
many
parking
enforcement
officers
do
we
have
out
in
Austin
Brighton?
D
L
During
the
day,
we
have
actually
two
sometimes
three
at
night
is
there's,
usually
two
two
or
three
Staffing
very
low,
so
the
have
we
send
out
them,
whoever
we
can,
but
usually
during
the
week
during
the
day,
about
five
offices,
all
together.
D
Thank
you
I'm
delighted
to
hear
that
we're
thinking
about
the
short-term
parking
situation
for
Lyft
and
Uber
on
Brighton
Ave.
We
have
a
wonderful
Bosley
and
we
have
a
bicycle:
a
Boston
bike
lane
and
inevitably
there's
going
to
be
Uber,
Uber
and
Lyft
in
ubereats
and
on
our
parking
in
the
bike
lane.
So
it's
all
of
the
benefits
of
having
a
bike
and
bustling
is
just
blown
out
under
the
water,
so
I
think
having
a
double
parking
with
Uber.
Having
designated
pick
up
and
drop
off
spaces,
it's
going
to
be
really
critical.
D
D
The
other
issue
really
is
just
in
terms
of
coordination
with
bpda
on
large
projects,
like
I
already
mentioned
the
issue
about
and
very
low
rate
parking
ratios
and
new
buildings,
but
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
departments
in
terms
of
just
even
planning
and
and
thinking
about
thinking
about
what
the
future
needs
are
and
given
that
we
have
an
absolutely
exploding
population
with
new
development
We've
this
even
just
this
week,
we've
had
complaints
about
a
new
building
that
they
have
to
get
more
parking
in
the
building
to
go
to
a
low
parking
ratio
and
get
as
much
parking
as
they
possibly
could.
D
D
But
again
it
begs
the
question:
if,
if
we
don't
have
adequate
charging
in
buildings,
then
people
are
going
to
you
want
we're
going
to
need
more
an
EV
charging
on
the
streets
and
in
parking
lots
and
we've
got
two
minutes
of
our
parking
lots
in
Austin
Brighton.
So
that's
a
big
Challenge
and
then
the
other
issue
is
we
I
know
there
was
a
piece
in
the
paper
about
a
resident
who
got
us
off
Street.
D
So
you
know
I
think
we
need
to
get
our
heads
together
to
try
and
come
up
with
some
real
solutions
to
that
and
I
know
it's
sort
of
a
tangential
question,
but
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
facing
right
now.
That's
happening
right
now,
so
the
coordination
with
BTD
we
it's
just
you
know
and
the
unbeated
be
the
police
department
and
bpda
like
are
we?
What
are
we
with
that
situation?.
G
So
I
mean
BTD
planning
does
meet
regularly
with
bpda
planning
on
on
all
types
of
projects
throughout
throughout
the
city,
so
that
that
coordination
is
is,
is
happening
and
ongoing
and
as
far
as
you
know,
BPD
from
from
both
enforcement
standpoint,
as
well
as
special
events,
Public
Safety,
we
we
coordinate
with
them
and
they
support
us
and
we
and
we
support
them
in
the
execution
of
that
stuff.
You
know
I
think
yeah,
I,
I,
I
agree.
G
There
think
we
are
nearing
potentially
in
the
explosion
and
the
use
of
EVS
throughout
throughout
the
the
city.
There.
You
know
I,
think
one
of
the
challenges
most
recently
has
been
supply
has
not
been
able
to
meet
demand,
but
I
think
the
market
has
responded
to
that
and
it
was
increasing
supply
of
these
vehicles,
so
I
I,
agree,
I,
think
very
quickly.
We
are
going
to
be
in
a
situation
where
there
is
going
to
be
incredible:
Demand
on
both
private
and
public
infrastructure
to
charge
those
exits.
D
D
We
need
to
figure
that
out
and
see,
and
also
the
other
thing
is.
If
you
have
a
car
and
a
stacker,
you
can't
you
can't
use
a
charger
on
a
stacker,
so
you
might
have
a
you
might
have
a
garage
that
has
50
of
the
the
vehicles
are
on
the
stacker,
but
that
means
those
Vehicles
can't
be
charged
either.
So
I
think
that's
just
the
future
of
one
of
the
future
challenges.
I
realized
my
time's
up
for
now,
but
I'm
going
to
come
back.
Thank.
F
F
I
think
they,
unfortunately
I
think
they
get
abuse
from
the
public
at
times,
which
is
very
discouraging
to
me
and
harassed
by
the
motorists
or
the
public,
and
but
do
we
track
that.
Do
we
track
those
incidents
of
traffic
enforcement
offices
and
the
the
verbal
abuse
that
they
are
subjected
to
by
the
by
the
by
anyone?
To
be
honest
with
you?
Yes,
we
do
could
I
generally
speaking,
what
what
are
the
results
what's
happening
and
at
some
point
I
would
like
to
get
I'd
like
to
get
those
documents.
K
K
F
There's
no
certainly
there's
no
excuse
for
verbal
abuse,
but
is
there
any
physical
abuse?
That's
that
our
offices
are
receiving,
unfortunately,
from
the
public,
and
it
has
happened
a
few
times
and
those
ones
are
going
to
court.
Yes
and
those
are
we're
not
seeking
to
drop
any
charges.
Okay,
let
the
court
system
figure
it
all
out.
Yes
until
until
there's
a
disposition,
correct!
Okay,
what's
the
average
salary
of
a
traffic
enforcement
officer.
K
Starting
salary
is
2509
an
hour,
so
roughly
47
five
a
year
starting
salary.
F
F
M
K
F
K
F
Where
are
they
living
that?
Where
are
these
young
people
living,
that
are
traffic
enforcement
offices,
they're
doing
an
exceptional
job
and
they're
working
five
days
a
week
when
many
many
other
people
are
working
three
days
remote
out
there
on
their
living
room
couch
these
these
workers
are
out
in
the
streets
at
times
being
assaulted,
certainly
being
verbally
assaulted,
we're
paying
them
47
55
000
a
year,
sixty
thousand
dollars.
Where
are
they
living
on
that
type
of
salary?
How
are
they
affording
it.
K
Different
situations
for
different,
you
know
to
to
answer
that
question.
You
know
some
of
them
live.
You
know,
they're
married,
you
know,
have
other
incomes
coming
in.
We
have.
We
have
some
that
work,
a
second
job,
so
I'm
still
living
at
home,
but.
F
A
Thank
you,
council
president
Flynn
and
I'll
start
the
timer
for
myself
a
few
questions.
My
district
I'll
dump
like
a
lot
of
issues
that
I
have
from
my
district
and
hearing
that
97
million
dollar
Revenue.
It's
that
that
was
surprising,
but
it's
definitely
just
speaks
to
the
amount
of
work
and
the
efforts
of
everyone
on
on
the
team.
A
Curb
management,
well,
not
government,
but
blocking
driveways,
is
something
I
hear
about
a
lot.
Is
there
any
current
policy
finds
that
in
terms
of
like
block
not
blocking
the
driveway
blocking
the
driveway,
but
there's
like
a
certain
amount
of
space
right
that
drivers
on
small
side
streets
need
to
in
order
to
pull
out
their
driveway?
Do
we
have
any
policy
to
prohibit?
You
know
how
close
one
pulls
up
to
a
driveway.
H
Yeah,
you
can
actually
park
right
to
the
end
of
the
driveway
and
the
standard
that
the
standard
that
we
have
is
more
related
to.
The
width
of
the
minimum
width
of
the
driveway
will
allow
you
to
have
should
support
your
vehicle
coming
in
and
out
of
it,
so
that
we
don't
let
you
make
too
narrow
of
a
driveway
by
setting
that
Dimension
people
can
park
right
up
to
that,
and
you
should
still
be
able
to
get
out
right.
A
Yeah,
no
and
I
I
do
understand
that,
but
still
there's
like
these
issues
on
smaller
side
streets
and
would
love
to
kind
of
think
through
what
that
looks
like
in
terms
of
how
close
someone
could
pull
up
to
a
driveway
I
received
phone
calls
from
so
many
constituents
that
were
trapped
in
for
work
right
or
or
you
know,
dropping
their
child
off
to
school
in
the
morning
because
of
the
inability
to
maneuver
out
of
their
driveway.
A
So
definitely
something
I
would
like
to
work
with
you
guys
on
on
creating
probably
policy
that
gets
people
a
little
bit
more
space
to
you
know
come
out
of
their
driveway.
The
other
issue
that
I
have
that
I
hear
about
in
our
district
often
is
our
local
car
shops
Dorchester.
It
is
probably
four
or
five
areas
where
there's
not
probably
gonna
exaggerate
a
little
bit
but
10
auto
body
shops
in
one
neighborhood.
It's
probably
really
like
six
auto
body
shops
in
one
neighborhood
and
on
the
weekend.
A
What
they
do
is
they
roll
out
all
those
cars
in
the
auto
body,
shops
put
them
on
the
residential
streets,
and
sometimes
they
Park
them
over
over.
There
overnight
I
guess
my
question
is
two-part:
are
you
guys,
working
in
coordination
with
BPD
ISD
BTD
to
kind
of
tackle
the
local
car
shop
issue
that
you
know
we're
constantly
hearing
about.
G
So,
on
the
on
the
first
question,
as
far
as
the
driveway
piece
I
think
that
is,
that
is
exactly
the
type
of
issue
that
we
can
look
at
when
we're
looking
at
the
regulations,
you
know
potentially
looking
at
a
specific
width
from
a
bullnose
or
a
curb
cut,
something
like
that.
As
far
as
you
know,
BPD
is
concerned.
Yes,
we
we
do
work
with
them
as
as
far
as
enforcement
of
you
know,
an
auto
body
shop
moving
Vehicles
out
into
the
street,
sometimes
they'll
they'll
move
vehicles
that
aren't
registered
or
played
it.
A
And
one
question
that
I
would
like
to
kind
of
hear
more
on:
is
the
ticket
in
tow
like
what's
the
timeline
behind
that
I
know?
Sometimes
BTD
might
go
out
there
and
ticket
it,
but
then
residents
are
calling
saying
you
know.
Why
is
this
car
still
on
the
street?
Can
you
kind
of
you
know
elaborate
more
on
the
timeline
and
what
requires
a
toe.
A
And
then
is
there
something
that
like?
How
would
you
know
that
that
that
car
is
still
there
after
72
hours?
Is
it
the
resident
calling
back?
Does
the
BTD
enforce
a
circle
back
around
after
72
hours
to
see
that
it's
still
there.
A
Know,
okay,
so
all
right,
so
the
best
thing
is
probably
to
continue.
Tell
our
constituents
to
make
another
3-1-1
call
after
72
hours.
Yes,
all
right,
yep
and
then
a
question
for
Santi.
Is
you
mentioned
integration
as
we
are
building
these
systems?
How
can
we
assure
that
the
systems
are
are
compatible.
J
We've
been
working
on
this,
particularly
the
the
first
place
that
we're
thinking
about
integrating
is
3-1-1,
so
the
complaints
and
requests
that
our
residents
have
with
cartograph,
which
will
be
the
digital
system
that
the
crews
have
to
execute
the
work
and
also
acknowledging
that
there'll
be
work
that
is
not
initiated
by
a
resident
complaint,
but
yeah
there's
proactive
inspections
of
signs
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
that
is
where
we
think
that
by
having
the
gis
data
for
the
assets,
you
can
almost
have
like
a
common
vocabulary.
J
Knowing
that
you're
referring
to
the
same
thing
and
there's
some
processes
where
we've
been
having
conversations
with
the
team
and
with
Chief
Franklin
Hodge
it'll
take
some
time.
You
know.
Sometimes
someone
might
submit
a
request
and
they
got
the
wrong
sign.
And
then
someone
in
the
field
needs
to
go
and
adjust
and
make
sure
that
you're
referencing
the
right
sign.
J
So,
but
we
think
that
that
is
kind
of
like
the
the
first
place
to
tackle
in
terms
of
integration
and
we'll
have
to
develop
a
little
bit
of
a
on
a
service
Case
by
service
case
and
also
tying
with
the
assets.
I
think
that's
a
there'll
be
a
lot
of
work
in
the
next
year
or
so,
and
I
think
that
we
can
start
thinking
after
that,
and
once
we
have
better
quality
data
is
start
thinking
about
time
with
other
pieces
around
the
parking
enforcement.
J
The
city
also
has
a
tool
online
called
Noto
that
allows
residents
to
register
to
get
notifications
when
they're
street
cleaning.
So
that's
due
for
an
upgrade
so
I
think
that
there's
this
will
will
continue
to
be
opportunistic
and
trying
to
figure
out
where,
whenever
we're
replacing
one
of
these
pieces
of
technology
or
we're
thinking
about
how
to
make
it
better,
how
we
can
tie
it
all
more
and
more
to
further
that
vision
of
having
a
better
experience.
But
again,
the
first
place
that
we'll
tackle
is
like
that
relationship
between
the
three
on
one
data.
A
Thank
you
and
then
my
last
question.
When
it
comes
to
enforcement,
is
there
enforcement
officers
on
the
evenings
and
weekends
in
all
neighborhoods,
or
only.
A
Awesome,
thank
you
and
we've
been
joined
by
Council
Murphy
Council
Murphy
we're
on
the
first
round
of
questions.
You
have
six
minutes.
N
Thank
you
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
to
follow
up.
I
was
in
a
community
meeting
in
your
District
a
couple
weeks
ago,
and
the
parking
issue
about
the
auto
shops
came
up
and
that
concern
around
using
the
sidewalk
to
store
cars
that
are
waiting
for
parts.
So
it
could
be
two
three
weeks
in
the
same
car
is
in
that
spot,
so
not
always
like
crashed
or
like
needing
auto
body
work,
but
waiting,
maybe
for
a
part
about
taking
up
spots
around
the
neighborhood.
N
But
you
mentioned
that
the
72
hours,
because
I
know
many
people,
have
a
car
parked
in
front
of
their
home
and
maybe
take
the
tea
to
work
or
don't
drive
it.
So
that's
five
days
like
at
what
point
can
you
because
I
know
that
people
have
said
they've
called
about
this
issue
and
often
told
that
there's
really
nothing
we
can
do,
and
if
it's
a
registered
car
you
know
it's
in
the
inspection
sticker
and
all
they
could
ticket.
N
G
G
You
know
I
think
I
think
in
certain
cases,
obviously
72
hours
is,
is
completely
appropriate
to
for
an
abandoned
vehicle,
but
I
think
when
you,
when
you
look
at
the
example
of
the
resident
permit
parking
program,
you
know,
72
hours
might
may
no
longer
be
the
appropriate
length
of
time,
so
yeah
I
think
I.
Think
we
do
need
to
look
at
that
as
as
part
of
the
suffering.
N
This
as
part
of
the
review
I
mean
because
there
are
times
where
people
I
know:
I
live
on
the
corner
and
there's
a
bus
stop
a
crosswalk
and
we
talk
about
it
when
it
comes
to
like
plowing
and
all
and
there's
street
cleaning
on
atoms,
but
there's
also
street
cleaning
on
Monsignor
lighting.
N
Yeah
yeah,
so
just
I
mean
it's
a
fine
line.
Also
I
know
when
resident
parking
and
different
neighborhoods
I
know
consulate.
Coletta
has
brought
this
up
with
the
airport
and
other
issues
and
in
Dorchester
and
anyone
who
lives
along
the
team.
We
often
had
a
lot
of
people
up
off,
Cruise
Street
near
where
my
mom
lives,
where
people
you
know
come
in
from
the
South
Shore
and
they
Park
on.
You
know
Beaumont
and
streets
around
there
and
just
walk
down
to
the
T,
and
then
they
got
resident
parking.
N
But
then,
as
we
know,
when
resident
parking
comes
in,
when
you
know
my
son
who
lives
in
the
city
also
is
getting
ticketed
to
visit
Grandma,
you
know
to
go,
have
lunch
with
her,
so
it's
a
fine
line
between
it's
restricting
people
that
you
may
not
want
to
take
up
spots,
but
then
it's
also
restricting
so
there's
no
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
that
you
don't
have
an
easy
job.
I.
Thank
you
for
all.
You
do
and,
however,
my
office
and
us
can
be
helpful.
Moving
forward
to
address
the
concerns.
N
People
have,
and
it's
also
on
I
mean
a
fine.
Has
to
be
enforced,
but
I
would
often
see
when
they
actually
towed
now
they
tick
it
when
they
try
not
to
tell
on
my
street.
But
you
know
it
was
someone
coming
home
from
like
working
the
night
shift
and
you
knew
that
it
was
probably
half
their
week's
pay,
and
you
know
they're
trying
to
get
down
to
Freeport
Street
to
see
if
that's
where
their
car
was
towed,
to
get
their
kid
to
school.
N
So
it
can
also
be
an
equitable
thing,
a
concern,
but
it's
obviously
Revenue.
We
need
in
the
city,
so
we'll
continue
to
work
of
work
with
you.
Thank
you.
A
A
Now
go
around
for
the
second
round
of
questions.
Every
Council
will
be
allotted
seven
minutes
of
time,
starting
with
councilor
Colette.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Vice
chair,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
their
wonderful
questions
going
back
to
the
the
Amendment
of
the
regs.
What
is
the
regulatory
roadmap
for
those
changes?
Is
that
something
that
has
to
happen
through
home
repetition,
I
just
don't
know
and
I
would
love
to
to
better
understand
that,
and
also
can
you
provide
a
preview
of
what
the
proposed
changes
would
be
and
then,
when
those
might
be
filed
or
when
the
city
council
will
see
those.
G
Sure,
and
so
we
we
have
already
started
to
you-
know
draft
some
some
edits
to
to
the
regulations.
You
know
for
I
think,
for
example,
I'm
not
sure
the
word
bike
is
currently
in
our
regulations.
Right,
so
addressing
changes
that
have
already
been
been
made
is
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
first
priorities
right,
so
you
know
addressing
changes
to
the
street
that
we've
made
in
the
last
several
years,
so
we've
begun
drafting
that.
G
But
but
yes,
we
will.
We
will
be
happy
to
obviously
circulate
that
for
for
review,
and
you
know
frankly,
but
we'll
have
to
get
we'll-
have
to
get
back
to
the
council
with
what
the
what
the
public
process
will
be.
C
You
and
my
Council
colleague
just
brought
up
a
good
point
if
we
can
build
in
any
sort
of
check-in
on
that.
I
know
that
the
last
time
that
it
was
amended
was
in
2012
I,
don't
know
what
the
prior
process
look
like,
but
if
we
can
build
in
every
year
two
years
three
years,
whatever
makes
sense
and
come
up
with
a
timeline
that
works
best
for
the
streets
cabinet
I
would
encourage
that
partnership.
With
with
my
colleagues
here,
let's
see,
okay,
so
the
implementation.
C
Sorry
one
last
question
in
case
and
I'm:
sorry,
if
I
missed
this,
but
the
timeline
of
the
implementation
of
the
cartograph
system,
with
full
integration
of
311
conduit.
All
of
that.
What
is
what
is
the
timeline
on
that
or
what
is
the
goal
date.
J
I
mean
the
the
project
as
a
whole
is
a
complex
project
with
with
a
couple
of
different
components
that
include
the
upgrade
of
the
301
system,
migrating
a
and
enabling
the
work
orders
in
cartograph,
ing
the
data
so
realistically
I
think
about
18
months.
But
there's
a
lot
of
details
and
we've
there's
unexpected
circumstances.
J
J
So
now
with
the
resources
that
you've
enabled
for
us
and
the
new
positions,
we
can
hire
people
to
be
able
to
keep
the
project
going
to
keep
make
sure
that
we're
following
through
with
the
contract,
that
we're
not
just
like
it's
not
hanging
somewhere
else,
and
that
we
can
support
our
partners
in
BTD
and
public
work.
So
I'm
optimistic
we've
been
again
working
this
past
week
after
we
got
the
good
news
and
the
budget
process
settled
on
what
the
Staffing
plan
looks
like
for
the
project.
J
We
are
hopefully
having
a
meeting
in
the
end
of
the
month
with
all
the
cabinets
and
departments
relevant
to
this,
like
constituent
Services
world.
But
again
we,
the
constituent,
Services
technology
systems,
manage
over
like
250
different
kinds
of
requests,
so
there's
a
lot
of
details
and
and
obviously
it's
their
systems
that
are
really
critical
for
the
operation
of
the
cities
that
we
are
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
details
right.
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
Chief.
While
we
have
the
the
parking
clerk's
office
here,
I
want
to
take
advantage
of
your
time.
So
when
it
comes
to
the
residential
parking
program,
I
know
that
you're
doing
an
audit
of
all
of
the
the
permits
that
I've
been
given.
You
started
with
Bay
Village
and
then
you're
going
to
South
Boston
and
then
you're
going
to
go
to
the
South
End.
What
does
that
list
look
like,
and
how
did
you
come
up
with
that
list
of
priorities?
Oh.
O
We
just
after
covid,
like
the
commissioner
mentioned,
we
Auto
renewed
all
neighborhoods,
so
we
did
see
an
inflation
of
the
number
of
Resident
stickers
that
were
active
on
the
street.
So
we,
as
now
that
we've
returned
to
the
regular
process
of
renewals,
we
thought
we'd,
do
an
audit
and
try
and
cut
that
number
down.
So
we
just
figured
we'd
start
with
a
smaller
neighborhood,
see
what
the
if
it
was
a
substantial
difference
in
the
numbers
which
it
was
from
six.
O
We
figured
it
was
a
pretty
substantial
number
so
as
we
get
into
the
larger
neighborhoods
South
Boston
also
Brighton
have
a
lot
of
tens
of
thousands
of
Resident
stickers,
so
we
expect
to
eliminate
several
thousand
to
inactivate
several
thousand,
that
people
that
no
longer
have
their
cars
registered
in
the
at
the
address
or
they've
moved
out
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
that
they
actually
got
Auto
renewed
before
and
they're
no
longer.
There.
Thank.
C
You
and
I
I
have
residents
coming
to
me
in
particular
in
East
Boston,
where
we
do
have
folks
that
come
in
and
park,
their
cars
store
their
vehicles
for
more
than
seven
two
hours
and
we
work
so
hard
to
eliminate
Park
and
flies
in
in
that
neighborhood
and
develop
parks
and
open
space
where
they
used
to
be
so
ifos
coming
and
asking
me
what
can
I
do
to
get
residential
parking
on
my
street?
C
The
response
that
we've
gotten
is
well
we're
pausing
that
program
and
expanding
are
we
waiting
until
all
of
the
audits
are
taking
place
across
the
city
like?
What's?
What's
the
update
on
that
in
the
timeline.
O
O
The
constituents
go
to
ons
and
tell
them
would
like
to
have
resident
parking.
Then
they
need
a
certain
percentage
of
the
street
or
the
neighborhood
to
agree
to
resident
parking
and
they
have
public
hearings
and
and
everything
else
through
ons
to
get
that
process
actually
started
before
they
come
to
BTD.
So
it's
a
combination
of
working
BTD
with
ons
to
get
that
of
squared
away
and
regulated
so
yeah.
O
So
the
constituents
know
to
go
to
ons.
First
to
get
the
petitions.
They
need
a
51
percent
majority
of
people
that
want
resident
parking
in
the
neighborhood
because
some
neighborhoods,
it's
just
a
lot
of
you,
speak
then
you'll
get
what
you
want
and
when
people
that
don't
actually
speak
up
that
don't
want
the
resident
parking
end
up
getting
it,
and
then
we
get
more
calls
because
they
really
didn't
want
it.
And
now
they
have
to
go
through
the
process
and
get
stickers.
C
Yeah
and
my
understanding
is
that
that
process
has
been
paused,
ons
is
saying:
we're
not
doing
any
sort
of
applications,
we're
not
doing
a
process
because
it's
going
to
be
reformed
or
there's
going
to
be
some
changes
to
the
program.
So
I
guess
what
are
the
changes
and
when
can
residents
expect
to
apply
again.
G
So
so,
yes,
the
program
is
still
currently
paused.
We've.
Completion
of
the
audit,
we
think,
does
make
sense
before
we
start
restart
the
program,
but
but
the
other
piece
of
that
is
we.
We
really
want
to
recruit
and
hire
some
additional
parking
meter
supervisors,
that's
the
Enforcement
Officers!
You
know
right
now
we
are
at.
We
are
at
a
you,
know
historic
low
for
those
positions.
G
If
we,
if
we
use
the
The
Benchmark,
the
historic
Benchmark
of
the
minimum
Staffing
level
of
150
I
mean
we're
we're
at
89
of
those
individuals
right
now,
so
you
know
we.
We
would
really
like
to
increase
those
numbers.
So
at
you
know,
I
think,
as
everyone
knows,
we're
struggling
to
do
the
enforcement
now
and-
and
so
there's
concern
about
creating
new
new
residential
parking
permit
areas
without
without
being
able
to
do
that
enforcement
on
the
recruitment
side.
G
We
we
posted
for
class
of
20
officers
this
this
spring,
the
that
Recruitment
and
hiring
process
is
is
underway,
and
we
have.
We
have
a
number
of
recommended
candidates
that
we
are
in
apartment.
I
mean
we
hope
to
on
board
as
early
as
this
month.
So
great
once
once
that
initial
class,
whatever
that
number
ends
up
being
our
intent,
is
to
repost
and
do
kind
of
rolling
recruitment
for
these
positions
for
the
foreseeable
future.
C
And
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
questioning
councilor
Flynn
about
paying
them
what
folks
deserve
in
order
to
recruit
and
retrain,
retain
people
so
we're
at
89.
We
need
150..
I
would
love
to
just
check
in
regularly
about
how
that's
going?
Are
there
any
collective
bargaining
conversations
that
are
coming
up
soon.
G
C
My
last
question
I'm
overtime,
but
the
vice
chair
is
being
so
kind
simple
question,
so
we
talked
about
cartograph.
Excuse
me,
no
there's
so
many
different
systems
which
which
one
was
this.
This
was
cycle
media
taking
in
City
assets.
So
we're
talking
about
parking
signs,
but
you
were
talking
about
striping,
light
poles
and
all
of
that.
What
what
is
the
full
list
of
assets
that
we're
auditing
right
now.
H
It's
mainly
signs
markings,
I'm,
sorry,
it'll,
be
all
all
of
our
signs
and
markings.
We're
also
collecting
lots
of
individual
things.
At
that
parking
hydrants
the
street
lighting
will
separately
have
its
own
inventory
done.
H
We
hang
all
of
our
signs
on
street
lights,
so
that
is
a
big
piece
of
it
for
us,
we're
also
looking
at
some
stuff
for
Public
Works
trees,
litter
baskets
benches,
just
some
things
that
are
are
just
points
that
it
would
be
nice
to
have
an
inventory
of
bike
racks
we'll
do
our
bus
lanes
and
bike
lanes
and
all
that
stuff,
Flex
posts,
modular
curbing.
J
Yeah
excellent
I
just
had
because
we
haven't
had
this
information.
Yes,
we're
looking
at
this.
It's
kind
of
like
a
fundamental
data
acquisition
run
I,
think
that,
as
we
start
tracking
the
way
that
these
assets
get
rolled
out
through
the
through
cartograph
and
whatnot,
we
might
want
to
do
I
find
best
practice
every
few
years
to
do
kind
of
like
a
census
of
these
assets,
just
to
make
sure
that
you
didn't
miss
any
throughout
like
the
even
in
your
work
order
process.
But
it
should
be
less
expensive
to
do
the
extraction
future
years.
C
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
for
your
testimony
for
your
answers.
Your
work
is
so
incredibly
important
and
I'm
just
grateful
to
all
of
you.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you
Mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
to
the
the
lead
sponsor
for
including
me
as
a
co-sponsor
here
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
time
and
attention
today
and
I
apologize
for
a
little
late
ahead
of
attended,
awaken
Funeral
for
a
dear
friend
and
a
long
time
supporter
who
had
lost
his
wife.
So
so,
thank
you
and
I
know.
My
colleagues
have
asked
a
bunch
of
questions.
Don't
want
to
sort
of
change
the
flow,
but
obviously
it's
good
to
see
everybody
here
and
welcome
deputy
chief.
M
You
know
we
had
worked
together
in
your
I
guess
prior
life
over
at
DCI,
so
good
to
see
you
on
board,
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
I
do
with
everyone
here,
and
a
piece
of
advice.
I'd
I'd
attach
Steve
McGuire
to
your
hip.
M
As
have
everybody
has
had
the
opportunity
to
work
closely
with
Steve
and
has
had
my
staff
over
the
years,
so
that's
a
little
tidbit
from
someone
that
is
probably
the
most
EXP
in
this
building
these
days
and
so
with
that
I
just
want
to
maybe
just
touch
briefly
on
signage.
One
of
our
issues
is
the
sign
should
be
present.
They
should
be
clearly
visible.
M
You
know
not
tipped
at
a
45
or
in
some
instances
a
90
degree
angle,
which
we
do
see
so
being
able
to
kind
of
get
in
touch
with
colleagues
here
on
the
console
and
do
a
3-1-1
and
be
able
to
dispatch
in
a
short
period
of
time
when
a
sign
goes
missing
or
is
destroyed
or
is
faded
because
of
inclement
weather
or
sun
a
lot
of
the
time.
Sometimes
you
pull
up
and.
D
M
Think
is
this
today's,
let's
say
street
cleaning
is
it
to
so.
We
need
that
the
guessing
game,
as
a
matter
of
basic
fairness
to
to
Residents
and
to
visitors,
taking
the
guessing
game
out
of
the
equation
so
that
you
can
see
a
clearly
visible
sign.
That
tells
you
what
you
can
and
what
you
can't
do.
I
think
is
a
big
piece
of
this
so
Back
to
Basics
on
on
the
sign
piece
and
then
for
me
it's
always
been
I.
M
Guess
a
conundrum
and
I
think
now,
maybe
Chief
with
the
technology
upgrades
and
our
meet
Amaze
having
the
handhelds
having
the
ability,
through
some
type
of
network,
a
computer
system
to
be
more
compassionate,
particularly
with
you
know,
relatives
taking
care
of
a
sick,
parent
or
aging
parent
physical
therapist,
coming
into
to
to
for
an
appointment
to
give
someone
physical
therapy
at
their
home
Hospice.
M
In
those
final
days
of
someone's
life,
Boston
loses
out
because
the
bright,
talented,
physical
therapist,
home
health
care
workers
and
hospice
workers
they
choose
not
to
come
to
Boston
Jesus
I'd
love
to
do
that.
I'd
love
to
take
that
job,
but
I
want
to
get
my
car
ticketed
and
towed
I.
Don't
have
a
resonance
sticker
unless
the
the
person
that
they're
taking
care
of
has
a
handicapped
placard
that
they
can
affix
to
that
health
care
worker
or
that
hospice
worker.
M
M
There's
got
to
be
a
way
that
someone
can
apply
to
the
say
it's
someone
in
my
home
and
we
need
physical
therapy
and
we've
contracted
with
the
physical
therapy
company
or
through
in
one
of
our
hospitals,
and
that
physical
therapist
is
going
to
come
three
days
a
week
to
take
care
of.
You
know
my
relative
we've
got
to
be
able
to
get
on
to
some
system
and
say
you
know,
show
that
there's
a
legitimate
prescription
or
a
contract,
and
that
is
the
medium
age
coming
down
the
street.
M
They
type
in
that
code
or
that
number
and
they
say
no,
no,
we're
not
going
to.
Let's
not
tag
this
guy,
because
it's
in
a
system
as
this
is
a
home
health
care
worker
and
they're
here
doing
physical
therapy
for
two
hours.
Let's
not
tag
that
car.
Let's
not
tow
that
car
I
got
to
think
that
the
technology
is
there
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
why
we're
not
doing
it
now
is
is
for
me,
is
a
little
mind-bogging.
O
Also,
if
I
may,
we
do
have
a
Home
Health,
Care
Alliance
System,
where
we
do
distribute
placards
to
Home
Health
Care
Alliance,
to
visiting
nurses,
to
Hospice
Care
individuals
that
are
in
our
system
and
they
get
a
placket
for
for
their
visits,
and
the
enforcement
offices
are
aware
of
them.
Their
license.
O
Plate
is
usually
put
into
the
handheld
so
when
they
come
across
it
if
they
don't
have
their
placket
visible,
they
put
in
their
license
plate
and
it'll
pop
up
on
their
handheld,
displaying
that
this
is
a
home
health
care,
Alliance
member
or
a
visiting
nurse
member
and
they're
allowed
to
park
in
that
Resident
spot
right.
M
You
can't
do
that
right
now,
because
resident
parking
program
precludes
that
she
can
come
in.
Take
care
of
my
dad
but
she's
going
to
get
ticketed
into
a
potentially
towed
so
having
a
system
where
a
resident
and
taxpayer
of
the
city
could
sort
of
plug
into
sort
of
that
Alliance,
Network
and
basically
say
Hey.
M
You
know
my
daughter
is
going
to
be
taking
care
of
me
two
days
a
week
or
three
days
a
week
or
you
know
say:
I
go
stay
with
my
dad
at
night
and
I
need
an
overnight
but
I'm,
not
from
the
city
again
just
trying
to
make
life
easier
for
the
city
resident
and
the
taxpayer
who's
aging.
That
needs
family
members
to
help
sort
of
provide
care
and
offset
any
of
those
expenses.
But
they
can't
do
it
because
they're
going
to
get
a
ticket
or
a
tow
and
right.
O
Again,
we
do
have
placards
for
those
one-off
for
these
ad
hoc
type
things,
but
unfortunately
you
would
have
to
know
enough
to
contact
our
office
to
get
that
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
do
that.
So
they
end
up
in
that
situation,
where
they're
helping
out
a
parent,
grandparent
or
whatever
end
up
getting
ticketed,
because
they
didn't
have
the
information
perhaps
to
contact.
M
M
So
maybe
having
some
type
of
having
a
brochure
or
some
type
of
information
on
the
website,
that
kind
of
describes
that
hey,
if
you're
taking
care
of
a
sick,
relative
and
or
if
you're
you
know,
you're
engaged
to
a
company
around
physical
therapy
or
hospice.
If
you're,
not
part
of
the
alliance,
then
you
have
this
option
and
you
know
maybe
somehow
figure
it
away.
I
just
think
that
again
day
and
age
and
the
technology
has
to
be
there
for
us
to
and
again
in
many
instances
it's
a
temporary
thing.
M
It's
an
elderly
person
that
had
their
hip
replaced
or
had
a
shoulder
replacement
or
a
knee
replacement.
Then
they
just
need
a
son
of
daughter
or
a
Nissan
nephew
to
kind
of
be
holding
down
the
fort,
for
you
know
a
week,
two
weeks
three
weeks
and
then
they're
back
up
and
running
and
things
have
moved
on.
M
But
it's
that
that
window
that
really
kind
of
sets
people
back
and
where
that
particularly
for
age
and
elderly
and
our
handicapped
residents,
I
think
that
would
make
a
world
of
difference,
probably
save
them
a
ton
of
dough
as
well
in
the
process.
M
So
so
it's
things
like
that
and
then,
whether
it's
the
sign
system
where
we
can
have
multiple
signs
sort
of
on
one
post
so
that
we,
you
know,
we
don't
have
sort
of
signs
like
kind
of
littered
up
and
down
the
streets,
but
having
signage
where
everyone
can,
instead
of
having
it
just
at
one
end
of
the
street
street
cleaning
and
or
no
parking
indoor
commercial
zones
having
them
be
appropriately
distance,
where
folks
have
appropriate
notice.
But
at
the
same
time
you
know
they're,
not
we're
not
tripping
over
signs,
but
that
they're
clearly
visible.
M
So
it's
kind
of
one
of
my
little
pet
peeves
anything
else
that
I
missed
that
we
haven't
covered
as
a
as
a
group,
I.
M
All
right
good,
so
it's
good
to
see
everybody
and
again
look
forward
to
working
with
you
is
to
find
a
ways
to
I
call
it
a
heavy,
more
targeted
and
compassionate
system
whereby
you
know
we're
getting
the
concerns
of
the
residents
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
there's
a
spot
available
for
them
when
they
get
there
based
on
we've
got
more
part.
M
Also
in
the
instance
that
you're
not
a
resident
that
we
do
have
a
program,
a
Compassionate
Care
program
that
does
allow
you
to
come
in
and
take
care
of
your
relative
or
provide
professional
health
care
assistance
to
somebody
without
you
know
getting
ticket
in
a
toad
and
because
it
just
deters
them
from
coming
into
the
city
and
they'll
just
go
elsewhere,
because
they're
not
faced
with
that
conundrum.
So
again,
thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
attention
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
D
You
I
think
we're
covering
a
lot
of
ground
this
morning.
This
is
very
good
as
a
physical
therapist
who
worked
in
Boston
doing
home
care
I
can
amplify
concerns
that
cancer
Flaherty
is
bringing
up
about
healthcare
workers
I
had
a
patient
in
the
South
End,
and
there
was
one
day
that
I
I
actually
managed
to
get
three
parking
tickets
in
one
day.
D
D
There
was
one
one
parking
event
that
I
was
parked
the
car
and
it
took
me
16
moves
to
get
the
car
back
out
of
the
spot,
so
it
was,
it
was
about
six
inches
in
front
behind
and
it
was
really
challenging
and
I
can
understand
if
you're
you're,
a
healthcare
worker,
your
productivity
you're
supposed
to
do
like
six
visits
a
day
you
need
to
be
in
and
out
of
their
languages
time.
You
can't
be
driving
around
the
block.
D
D
The
other
thing
we
we
need
to
think
about
is
we
have
we're
really
adding
a
lot
of
bicycle
infrastructure
and
we're
encouraging
people
to
use
alternative
modes
of
travel
apart
from
driving
and
cars,
and
one
thing
we
seem
to
be
missing
is
actually
we
are
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
new
blue
bike
stations,
but
we
actually
need
some
more
parking,
secure
parking
for
folks
who
own
their
own
bicycle
and
need
to
park
it
in
a
business
space,
a
business
district
or
whatever
I
know
in
other.
D
D
It
was
a
frame
and
weanies
are
missing
and
they're
just
hanging
on
lamp
posts
and
hanging
on
street
signs
and
are
a
hazard
for
pedestrians,
but
I
think
we
really
need
to
sort
of
seriously
look
at
a
better
parking
for
bicycles
in
our
Main
Street
districts
and
the
other
issue.
I
wanted
to
bring
up
and
I
know.
I've
raised
this
before
and
I
was
told
not
to
bring
it
up
again.
One
issue
when
we're
looking
at
our
whole
parking
policy
is
to
think
about
parking
benefit.
D
D
Where
that
that
money
is
generated
from
and
you
could,
you
could
put
it
to
enforcement,
you
could
put
it
to
beautification,
you
could
pay
for
horkies
to
keep
the
streets
clean
and
that
are
free
and
reduce
our
incidence
of
rodent
problems,
clash
and
trash
and
cleanliness
graffiti
removal,
and
then
it
would
also
be
very
in
for
improve,
like
investment
or
acceptance
of
business
owners
to
having
parking
meters
in
their
in
their
in
this
in
the
street
by
their
business.
This
is
we
get
a
lot
of
resistance.
D
Many
business
owners,
females
detrimental
to
their
business,
but
I,
don't
I
think
if
there's
better
turnover,
more
people
coming
and
going
and
are
able
to
get
and
opening
up
those
spaces
for
folks
who
are
going
to
stay
for
two
hours
rather
than
folks
are
going
to
park
their
car
in
the
street
for
all
day
and
take
the
express
bus
downtown.
You
know,
I
think
it's
worth
looking
at
the
benefit
parking
benefit
district
and
I
I,
just
throw
it
out
there
as
a
consideration.
D
I
also
want
to
amplify
the
issue
that
we've
heard
about
with
you
know:
auto
body
shops,
parking,
cars
and
streets.
We
have
an
ins,
we
have
a
case
of
a
Rent
A
Car
Rental
on
Cambridge
Street,
who
Parks
routinely
parks
in
the
residential
parking
spaces
on
a
on
a
residential
street,
to
the
point
that
the
folks
who
actually
live
on
the
street
can't
park
the
cars
because
all
the
rental
cars
are
parked
there.
So
you
know
these
are
instances
of
of
that
really
make
our
residents
crazy.
D
I
think
that's
really
most
of
the
issues
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up,
but
you
know
any
thoughts
on
parking
benefit
districts.
Any
thoughts
on
on
improved
bicycle
parking
for
folks
who
actually
own
their
bicycle,
not
the
red
bike,
the
blue
bikes.
G
Sure
we,
you
know
we
are,
we
are
working
at
you
know
all
types
of
Street
Furniture,
but
but
bike
racks
in
particular.
We
we
do
have
a
program
for
for
installing
them
and
we
agree
there
is.
There
is
increasing
demand
for
that
for
that
type
of
infrastructure.
So
we
will.
We
will
continue
to
look
at
that.
G
You
know
I
I,
don't
that
business
improvement
district
as
far
as
parking
yeah,
we
would
have
to
take
a
look.
A
look
at
that.
D
If
you
generate
money
from
parking
meters
at
a
small
portion
of
the
money
would
be
reinvested
in
the
neighborhood.
You
know,
beautification
and
and
also
it
would
be,
enhance
The
Pedestrian
experience,
because
we
have
we
have
card
users,
we
have
bicycles
and
we
are
pedestrians
and
improving
The
Pedestrian
experience
is
actually
going
to
help
our
business
districts
attract
more
people
to
support
our
small
businesses
are
really
struggling.
So
you
know
it's
an
idea.
D
J
I
I
just
had
bike
racks.
Besides,
the
the
blue
bikes
are
part
of
the
data
that
is
going
to
be
acquired
through
cyclomedia.
That
type
of
data
will
likely
be
a
little
bit
less
quality
partially
because
we
collect
data
by
driving
through
the
road.
So
if
there's
obstructions
or
whatnot
the
some
of
them,
we
might
miss
a
couple
of
them
compared
to
the
street
signs
the
streets
thanks.
N
You
Council
Flaherty
brought
up
allowing
Like
Home,
Health,
Care
and
others
to
have
passes
and
I
know
that
the
btu
and
the
teachers
union
has
advocated
for
like
itinerant
workers,
who
may
be
at
more
than
two
or
three
schools
a
day,
but
just
your
thoughts,
because
anytime
we
offer
this.
N
Is
there
a
fair
which
I
assume
there
is
and
then
how
do
we
make
sure
that
only
people
who
actually
need
it
are
allowed
the
passes
that
they
would
get
right?
Because
you
wouldn't
want
people
to
just
take
advantage
of
a
system
and
then
how
would
we
monitor
if
you're,
really,
you
know
going
to
Mom's
house
that
day
right
or
did
you?
Do
you
not
work
on
Tuesdays,
but
now
you
can
park
in
someone
else's
spot
for
the
day,
so
it
gets
tricky.
So
how?
N
O
Yeah
to
short
answers,
we
are
still
looking
into
it.
It
does
develop
into
a
bit
of
a
slippery
slope
where
you
people
are
tend
to
take
advantage
of
parking
permits
and
with
the
handhelds,
as
I
had
mentioned
before,
we
can
program
a
permit
in
there
to
have
it
set
for
certain
times
of
the
day,
whether
it's
8
A.M
to
6
p.m.
This
permit
is
valid
when
they
scan
the
license
plate
up
plug
in
the
license
plate.
O
O
Work
on
your
end,
yeah
in
the
process
of
development,
but
we
have
to
work
out
some
of
the
Kinks
I
I
guess
it
is.
N
N
A
You
Council
Murphy
we're
going
to
go
back
to
council
Flaherty.
M
Thank
you
Mr
chairman
and
my
colleague
Council
Braden,
her
line
of
questioning
prompted
this
question
is-
and
this
is
really
my
former
quality
Council
of
Sal
lamentina,
who
spent
a
significant
portion
of
his
public
service
and
the
transportation
department
was
a
staunch
advocate
for
expanding
the
meter
hours.
Beyond
8
PM,
particularly
in
you
know,
in
the
Theater
District,
where
there's
lots
of
restaurants,
where
there's
lots
of
activity
at
night.
Because
what
happens
now,
it's
a
it's,
the
the
hog,
the
spot.
M
If
you're
there
at
six
o'clock,
you
get
it
for
the
rest
of
the
night
right
and
so
his
idea-
and
he
saw
this
in
other
cities-
was
instead
of
the
meteors
going
from
eight
to
eight.
You
know,
maybe
it's
a
you
know,
eight
to
nine
or
an
eight
to
ten,
or
maybe
it's
eight
to
eleven
in
whatever
form,
and
if
we
have
to
put
an
additional
shift
of
enforcement
offices
on
to
track
that
out,
our
media
mates
frankly
pay
for
themselves
as
evidence
with.
M
You
know
the
97
million
that
we
generate
through
the
meter
and
through
parking
and
ticketing
program.
But
if
there's
an
opportunity-
or
some
thought,
with
the
decision
makers
in
front
of
us
to
to
move
Beyond,
eight,
whether
that's
nine,
whether
that's
ten,
whether
that's
11
and
or
for
those
that
you
know,
wait
and
they
pounce
on
the
spot
at
601
or
six,
they
get
it
fade,
but
they
get
it
for
the
rest
of
the
night.
M
Maybe
there's
an
additional
fee
that,
if
that
spot
is
the
car
is
going
to
stay
in
that
spot,
Beyond.
Eight
o'clock
that
there's
an
additional
textile
or
fee
that
goes
with
so
just
want
to
sort
of
think
outside
the
box.
Unfortunately,
we
tend
to
see
meters
coming
off
the
grid
to
accommodate
some
of
the
changing
on
the
streetscapes
and
the
protected
Lanes
Etc.
But
meters
are
a
vital
source
of
revenue
for
our
city.
It's
how
we
sort
of
pay
for
the
things
that
you
guys
like
to
do
in
your
department
and
other
departments.
M
So
we
need
to
continue
to
balance
that,
as
we
consider
considering
that
we
see
taxable
property
coming
off.
The
tax
rolls
when
we
know
that
the
commercial
vacancy
rate
is
struggling
starting
to
struggle.
That's
going
to
play
itself
out
over
the
next
two
three
four
years.
At
some
point
it
will
be.
M
We
don't
need
right
now,
but
I'm
telling
you
given
what
we're
seeing
with
respect
to
the
commercial
vacancy
rate.
We
will
experience
some
pain
in
the
very
near
future
and,
having
things
like
this
and
having
their
flexibility,
to
expand
the
media
program,
Beyond
and
or
identify
areas
of
the
city
where
we
could,
we
can
see
an
increase
in
Revenue,
putting
meters
in
in
some
of
our
other
neighboring
business
districts.
I
think
we'll
go
a
long
way
in
maybe
potentially
stating
off
some
of
those
difficult
decisions
that
will
be
coming
down
the
pike.
M
So
that
said
so,
I
don't
know
if
there's
been
any
thought
to
it,
but
not
my
idea.
My
former
colleague
that
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
transportation
department
have
raised
that
issue
several
times
during
his
career
and
I
wanted
to
amplify
it
again,
based
on
the
line
of
questioning
from
my
colleague,
Council
Braden,.
G
So
so
there
are
a
couple
neighborhoods
we're
looking
at
right
now
for
for
meter,
expansion
and
I.
Think
as
as
part
of
that
effort,
we
could
look
at
extended
hours
at
some
of
the
areas
that
that
would
make
sense.
Would.
A
Thank
you,
Mr.
Thank
you.
Council
Clarity,
one
question
I
have
for
Santi
is
I.
Know
you've
been
through
this
with
Pittsburgh
before
and
let's
do
it
in
your
chief
of
information
officer,
do
you
have
the
authority
to
effectively
accomplish
and
to
authorize?
You
know
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
with
in
your
current
role
like
working
across,
because
I
know
you
work
and
do
it.
Btd
is
a
separate
Department.
Do
you
have
that
authority
to
you
know,
make
the
decisions
to
make
sure
this
all
comes
together.
J
J
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
second
part
of
my
answer
does
not
reflect
this
particular
case.
There's
a
great
relation.
There
are
literally
our
neighbors
across
the
hallway
I.
Think
the
very
there
is
an
opportunity.
The
city
of
Boston
does
not
have
anywhere
regulated
any
Authority
for
any
technology
under
my
role
or
our
office
like
it's
not
in
the
municipal
code,
it's
not
in
the
charter
and
in
both
other
cities
that
have
worked,
and
if
you
look
at
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
J
If
you
look
at
the
federal
government,
there's
usually
clear
responsibilities
because
I
think
not
only
about
the
coordination,
the
nice
piece,
but
if
we
were
to
figure
out
you
know,
let's
say
that.
There's
concerns
around
surveillance
with
the
late
license,
plate
readers
or
let's
say
that.
There's
security
concerns
around
a
particular
part
of
the
stack.
That's
where
the
authority
again,
we
have
a
great
relationship.
So
I
don't
think
that
that
place
in
this
particular
case.
A
Thank
you
for
that
love
to
work
with
you
on
revising
that
code.
To
make
sure
that
you
know
your
role
in
your
department
is
equipped
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
the
city
forward
in
terms
of
Technology
now
we'll
go
to
public
testimony,
but
we'll
start
with
Council
Coletta
she's
going
to
read
something
in
to
record.
While
we
get
up
the
this
public
testimony
on
Zoom.
C
Thank
you
so
much
Vice,
chair,
I
do
have
an
email
that
was
sent
from
a
resident
who
could
not
be
here
today
but
sent
in
written
testimony.
It's
from
Laura
Chambers,
a
chamber,
I
hope
I
said
your
last
name.
Right,
apologies
if
not,
and
the
email
starts
out
with.
As
you
are
likely
aware,
the
closure
of
the
tunnel
has
severely
restricted
our
Mobility
options,
leaving
many
of
us
in
East,
Boston
and
Stranded
public
transportation.
C
Despite
recent
efforts
to
alleviate
congestion
by
making
it
free
remains
insufficient,
with
trains
running
out
of
frequency,
only
of
six
to
eight
minutes
during
rush
hour,
this
limited
service
makes
commuting
even
more
arduous
for
residents.
Moreover,
the
current
street
cleaning
schedule
exacerbates
the
situation.
Many
of
us
struggle
to
be
home
in
the
afternoon
to
move
our
vehicles
to
the
other
side
of
the
street
as
parking
spaces
become
scarce
by
5
PM.
The
inconvenience
is
magnified
by
the
fact
that
street
cleaning
on
Maverick
Street
occurs
on
both
Thursday
and
Friday.
C
This
leaves
us
with
limited
parking
options
and
forces
us
to
navigate
additional
challenges.
It
is
to
start
disheartening
to
witness.
City
Boston,
along
with
its
elected
representatives,
seem
to
have
overlooked
the
difficulties
we
are
experiencing
and
simply
just
failed.
Us
therefore,
I
kindly
request
that
you
and
the
relevant
authorities
give
due
consideration
to
our
plea
for
a
temporary
suspension
of
street
cleaning
in
East
Boston
until
the
tunnel
reopens
granting
this
respite
would
alleviate
some
of
the
burdens
we
Face
daily
and
demonstrate
a
genuine
concern
for
the
well-being
of
the
residents,
slash
taxpayers.
C
A
Thank
you,
Council,
Coletta
and
now
we'll
go
to
zoom,
where
we
have
one
person
signed
up
for
a
public
testimony
and
I
believe
that's
a
John,
Caldwell
John
you'll
have
three
minutes
for
your
testimony.
Please
state
your
name
and
any
associations.
P
Sounds
good,
thank
you.
Can
you?
Can
you
hear
me
all
right?
Yes,
great!
Thank
you.
My
name
is
John
Caldwell
I'm,
a
resident
of
Charlestown,
so
I
guess
I'd
like
to
just
briefly
just
take
the
time
to
thank
you
for
the
for
the
time
and
highlight
just
my
perspective
of
the
SEO
from
the
point
of
view
of
a
resident,
so
I'd
like
to
acknowledge.
First,
just
acknowledge
that
you
know
parking
has
been
a
problem
in
the
city.
P
At
the
same
time,
we
over
index
for
car
ownership,
so
we're
at
like
78
versus
like
66
for
Boston
writ
large
as
a
result
just
say
that
just
nothing
we
don't
already
know
finding
parking
spot
is
difficult,
it's
becoming
more
so,
but
you
know
what
I
wanted
to
bring
up
was
that
the
difficulty
seems
to
be
compounded
by
the
way
some
of
these
programs
are
implemented
by
the
city.
P
So
the
first
of
these
is,
you
know,
street
cleaning
to
to
Echo
the
last
the
last
input
so
street
cleaning
strips
you
know
my
neighborhood
of
half
its
parking
for
a
full
four
hours
each
week,
right
like
like
most
people,
but
despite
like
this
gaping
time,
slot
allocated
for
the
sweeping
the
sweeper
doesn't
really
need
all
that
time.
It
needs
a
few
minutes
to
actually
do
the
work
that
it's
set
out
to
do
and
once
the
sweeper
passes
that
spot
is
now
remaining
artificially
unusable
to
the
residents
of
the
city.
P
For
the
remainder
of
the
time
limit
and
although
I've
heard
rumors
about
you
know
kind
of
like
an
air
quote,
relaxed
enforcement
of
street
sweeping
for
the
for
the
bands,
the
parking
bands
after
it's
passed,
I've,
not
read,
really
any
official
City
statement
indicating
as
much
it's
it's
sort
of
just
kind
of
hearsay
and
kind
of
like
a
rumor.
P
As
a
result,
I
I
believe
that
kind
of
the
street
I
do
believe
that
the
street
sweeping
program
in
particular
is
right
for
some
reform
to
make
it
both
more
efficient
and,
quite
frankly,
more
transparent,
and
you
know
I've
also
noticed
a
couple
other
things
you
know
popping
up
as
well
so
like
as
though
to
add
some
insult
to
injury.
P
I've
recently
noticed
a
city
issuing
multiple
parking
bans
for
moving
permits
on
the
on,
like
the
good
side
of
the
street
on
street
sweeping
days,
so
in
this
way,
the
city's,
basically
artificially
downsizing
and
already
artificially
small
amount
of
parking
spaces
available
to
its
residents
and
the
implementation
of
such
parking
bans.
You
know,
namely
like
handwritten
paper
signs,
jury
rigged,
do
a
signpost
and
like
a
trash
can
or
a
random
cone.
P
That's
just
out
there
that
one
of
my
neighbors
purchases,
it
creates
even
more
confusion
about
what
is
and
what
is
not
allowable
and
these
parking
bins
in
the
confusion,
they're
creating
or
having
real
ramifications
on
the
neighborhood
life
around
me
right.
The
most
obvious
is
the
wasted
hours
looking
for
parking
spaces
and,
frankly,
The
Fairly,
unsafe
driving
practices.
P
When
dozens
of
cars
are
looking
for
spaces
and
not
paying
attention
to
the
road,
and
because
parking
is
basically
a
zero-sum
game,
when
I
need
to
travel
to
another
neighborhood
to
park,
my
car
I'm,
taking
away
their
supply
of
parking,
creating
a
knock-on
effect
of
inefficiency
that
just
kind
of
goes
down
the
line
and
finally
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
the
conflict.
The
system
creates
among
among
my
neighbors
and
I've
personally
witnessed
neighbors
literally
shouting
at
one
another
over.
P
You
know
small
parking
moving,
something
here
versus
there
or
a
permit
up
or
a
permit.
Wasn't
there
or
was
it?
The
sign
was
invisible
and
just
in
conclusion,
just
want
to
say
you
know,
I
know
you
guys
can't
do
anything,
but
more
people
wanted
to
live
in
Boston
and
bring
their
car.
That's
a
good
thing.
P
People
want
to
live
here,
but
I
think
the
city
can
ameliorate
the
problem
somewhat
by
making
clear,
sensible
parking
regulations
that
both
mitigate
any
unnecessary
and
artificial
parking
bans
and
make
it
very
transparent
about
what
is
and
is
not
illegal.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
so
much
Vice
chair
and
thank
you
to
my
co-sponsor
councilor
Flaherty,
and
thank
you
again
to
to
all
of
you.
This
has
been
a
really
productive
conversation.
C
Enlightening
informative,
I've,
already
learned
so
much
about
different
things
that
are
happening
behind
the
scenes
and
what
we
were
doing
to
make
Boston
a
more
modern
system
by
modernizing
our
internal
systems,
and
it
seems
like
there
are
a
couple
of
just
follow-up
items:
I
won't
have
all
of
them,
but
we
will
follow
up
and
I
hope
to
have
future
conversations,
but
a
preview
of
what
their
new
regulations
will
be
coming
out
of
the
the
streets,
cabinet,
implementation
of
the
cartography
did
I,
say
the
right
photography
system
with
full
integration
of
311,
Park,
Boston
and
others.
C
C
There's
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
different
things
too,
but
I
am
just
so
grateful
for
all
of
you
grateful
to
the
the
parking
enforcement
officers
across
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you
Daryl
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
your
work.
We
are
just
trying
to
make
the
city
better
faster,
stronger
and
everything
that
we
do,
and
this
is
a
part
of
that
conversation,
so
look
forward
to
Future
working
sessions,
hearings
and
understanding
what
the
what
the
progress
has
been
Thanks.
M
Thank
you,
Council
clarity.
Thank
you,
chair
for
hosting
thank
you,
Council
cleda,
for
including
me
as
a
co-sponsor
and
again
as
referenced
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
all
do
and,
on
behalf
of
our
city,
not
an
easy
task,
daily,
Transportation
parking
and
traffic,
our
our
sort
of
line-standing
issues
and
conundrums
for
our
city
and
as
we
continue
to
grow
our
city
and
as
more
people
want
to
move
here
and
bring
their
companies
here.
That's
the
good
news.
M
Bad
news
is,
we
don't
have
enough
parking
spaces
and
or
the
Consortium
of
different
signs
and
between
tree
cleaning
and
no
parking
Etc.
We
just
need
to
figure
that
out
so
taking
advantage
of
advances
in
technology
plus
the
skill
set
and
the
leadership
here
in
this
room
just
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
make
some
of
these
necessary
changes.
Some
good
ideas
have
come
forward
in
this
hearing
and
from
public
testimony,
as
well
as
your
Collective
work.
M
A
You
thank
you
Council
Clarity,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
your
leadership
in
this
and
thank
you
to
BTD
for
all
your
work.
Thank
you
Santi.
If
I
always,
you
know
trying
to
bring
technology
into
this
space
to
help
our
city
be
more
efficient.
Thank
you
again
in
this
meeting
or
hearing
on
