A
Message
in
order
an
ordinance
entitled
an
ending
city
of
Boston
code
ordinances,
chapter
6,
section,
6,
6.3
schedule
of
parking
fines.
This
matter
was
sponsored
by
Mayor,
Martin
Walsh
and
referred
to.
The
committee
and
gum
operation
is
back
on
April
the
11th
2018.
It
seeks
to
update
the
fine
schedule
for
specific
categories
of
parking
violations,
as
well
as
create
a
new
category
of
violation
for
overnight
street
sweeping
in
the
City
of
Austin
municipal
code.
A
B
Councillor,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
collaboration
throughout
the
entire
budget
process
and
beyond.
The
intent
of
this
is
really
twofold.
One.
We
wanted
to
respond
respond
to
constituent
concerns
that
we've
been
hearing
around
parking
across
the
city
and
parking
issues
across
the
city
and
second,
we
want
to
accelerate
the
implementation
of
go
Boston
2030,
the
mayor's
long
term
mobility
plan.
First,
a
touch
on
exactly
you
were
focused
on.
Why
we're
doing
this?
Why
we're
doing
why
we're
looking
at
this
particular
set
of
finds
over
the
last
four
years?
B
We've
seen
a
very
significant
change
in
the
number
of
constituent
requests
through
3
1
1
consular
schema
that
that
have
been
coming
in
to
us.
In
2014
we
received
4469
requests
from
constituents
through
304
parking
enforcement
issues.
So
four
years
ago,
4469
last
year,
that
number
had
escalated
up
to
36,000
421
we've
seen
a
massive
increase
in
the
number
of
constituents
who
are
calling
us
asking
for
various
parking
enforcement
assistance
throughout
our
city
and
every
single
day
of
the
week.
What
we
looked
at
when
we
looked
at
that
significant
escalation.
B
B
The
second
sort
of
large
category
of
constituent
concerns
that
was
raised
to
us
was
really
in
our
business
districts
and
around
meters.
You
have
been
a
terrific
champion
of
I
thinking
about
how
we
would
expand
support
for
small
businesses
by
increasing
opportunities
for
people
to
find
a
meter
to
get
in
run,
an
errand
have
a
bite
to
eat,
shop,
etc.
One
of
the
ways
in
which
we
want
to
be
able
to
increase
that
sort
of
turnover,
increased
small
business
support
is
to
adjust
the
fines
associated
with
either
not
paying
your
parking
limit.
B
A
parking
meter
overstating
the
parking
meter
limit
and
so
there's
a
set
of
three
different
fines
in
here,
which
is
actually
really
the
largest
category
of
fines,
a
large
category
of
ticket
issuance
that
we're
looking
to
increase
where
we
didn't
increase.
Three
types
of
meter
related
fines,
essentially
from
$25
to
$40.
There's
a
third
category
that
we
a
tremendous
amount
of
constituent
feedback
from
which
is
around
things
that
basically
increase
congestion
on
our
streets
and
in
and
decrease
the
safety
Brickley
for
people
who
are
driving,
walking
or
biking.
B
Those
are
all
things
that
are
associated
with
illegal
parking
and
loading
zones,
illegal
parking
in
stopping
the
standing
zones,
parking
and
no
parking
areas
and
some
double
parking
related
related
fines.
We
looked
at
that
category
and
there
are
six
different
fines
in
that
category,
the
largest
of
which,
in
terms
of
volume,
is
illegal
parking
in
in
loading
zones,
and
we
are
adjusting
those
fines.
I
think
we've
all
lived
with
the
experience
of
seeing
commercial
deliveries
which
are
increasing
in
our
city
happening
in
a
travel
lane
rather
than
happening
in
a
loading
zone.
B
We
want
to
figure
out
a
way
to
actually
get
more
commercial
vehicles
to
the
curb.
So
it's
easier
to
do
those
commercial,
most
important
commercial
trips
quicker
for
the
people
who
are
restocking,
stores
or
restocking.
Restaurants
and
not
have
them,
have
to
be
in
a
travel
lane.
So
we
looked
at
upgrading
and
adjusting
a
series
of
fines
in
those
categories
that
includes
again,
the
loading
zone
find
the
fine
for
no
stopping
and
no
standing.
B
It
also
includes
adjusting
the
fines
for
no
parking
in
what's
called
zone
a
and
zone
B
and
double
parking
in
zone
a
and
zone
B
zone.
A
essentially
is
the
highest
congested
areas
of
the
city
of
Boston.
So
if
you
think
about
from
the
mass
from
sort
of
massive
line,
more
or
less
towards
downtown
Boston,
so
I
would
be
inclusive
of
things
like
the
South
End
back
bed,
downtown
North
and
West
End,
Chinatown,
Fenway,
Kenmore
I
think
that's
essentially
the
full
list.
B
That
is
the
that's
sort
of
the
set
that
we
were
looking
at
in
that
group,
again.
Kind
of
the
largest
set
is
really
in
terms
of
ticket
issuance
volume.
Our
tickets
are
associated
with
with
loading
zone
infractions,
which
is
over
90,000
tickets
in
FY
17,
and
does
include
some
things,
as
we've
talked
about
in
the
past,
around
double
parking
in
Zone
B,
which
again
are
kind
of
our
more
residential
areas,
which
it
was
only
around
7,000
tickets.
All
last
year,
it's
important
to
note.
B
With
all
of
these,
with
that
category
of
tickets,
our
parking
enforcement
officers
always
lead
with
a
conversation
not
lead
with
a
ticket.
They
start
by
engaging
the
person
who
may
be
double
parking
if
there
is,
if
that
person
is
there
and
encouraging
them
to
move
along,
it
is
when
there's
nobody
there
that
the
ticket
is
often
issued.
The
fourth
category
that
we
looked
at
now
is
essentially
adjustments
to
an
expansion
of
a
program
that
we
successfully
pilot
in
charlestown.
B
Two
years
ago,
it's
called
the
ticket
no
tow
program
where,
instead
of
towing
vehicles
for
street
cleaning,
we
simply
issued
a
higher
fine
that
wasn't
$40.
It
was
a
ticket
that
was
$90
that
had
a
successful
sort
of
pilot
run
in
Charlestown.
We
made
it
permanent
in
Charlestown.
The
proposal
here
is
to
actually
expand
that
for
overnight
street-sweeping
in
the
city
of
Boston,
overnight,
street-sweeping,
essentially
the
street,
sweeping
that
the
Public
Works
team
does
all
year
long
at
night,
so
between
12:00
a.m.
and
7:00
a.m.
B
That
set
of
11
counsel
to
your
your
point
is
sort
of
a
subset
of
the
more
than
30
different
ticket
types
that
the
Transportation
Department
issues
and
is
really
targeted
on
addressing
those
things
we've
been
hearing
over
and
over
again
from
constituents.
How
can
I
have
better
parking
in
my
neighborhood?
How
can
I
have
better
parking
in
small
business
districts?
How
can
I
have
less
congestion
in
my
travels
throughout
the
city
and
how
can
I
make
sure
that
my
street
is
it's
cleaner?
B
The
fine
adjustments
that
we
are
seeking
put
us
more
in
line
with
some
of
sort
of
peer
cities
that
have
similar
levels
of
density
and
congestion,
places
like
Chicago,
San,
Francisco,
Plus,
even
eight,
and
essentially
it
would
be
the
most
significant
upgrade
that
we've
had
in
our
update.
We've
had
to
our
our
ticket
schedule
since
about
2008,
which
was
the
last
time
that
was.
This
was
sort
of
comprehensively
done.
B
It's
important
to
note
and
as
we've
talked
about
before,
this
is
likely
not
to
be
a
revenue-neutral
proposal
that
there
will
be
a
revenue
increase
because
of
this
that
we
are
expecting
to
be
around
five
million
dollars.
The
where
that
money
would
go
is
things
that
the
clear
outline
in
the
bTW
budget
hearing
last
week,
looking
at
upgrading
the
basics
of
doing
more
street
resurfacing,
more
sidewalk
repair
investment
in
people
to
keep
our
our
signals,
sort
of
updated
and
well
functioning
throughout
the
city
of
Boston.
B
Who
would
also
include
investing
in
things
which
we've
heard
repeatedly
from
the
city
council
things
that
it
can
really
improve
safety
in
our
neighborhoods?
So
expansion
of
the
number
of
neighborhood
slow
streets?
We
would
be
able
to
do
over
the
next
four
years.
Expansion
of
the
number
of
amount
of
protected
bike
lanes
to
be
able
to
do.
Expansion
of
a
number
of
challenging
intersections
we'd
be
able
to
address
in
our
engineering
work.
B
This
would
be
a
team
that
could
work
with
the
MBTA
to
better
coordinate
work
between
the
city
of
Boston
and
what
the
MBTA
is
doing,
so,
whether
that
is
workarounds
or
traffic
signals
on
Green
Line
corridors,
the
coordination
around
long
term
investment
or
work
around
some
of
the
bus
initiatives
that
we've
got
going
on.
That's
what
the
transit
team
would
focus
on
the
fourth
area
that
this
money
would
be
able
to
go
to
is
really
changing.
B
The
way
in
which
we
work
with
private
stakeholders,
who
are
also
in
the
transportation
space,
so
we'd
be
able
to
hire.
Somebody
who
could
work
with
groups
like
like
Masco,
like
the
Seaport,
EMA
and
other
TMA,
is
across
the
city
of
Boston,
who
are
basically
providing
private
transportation
services
and
making
sure
that
we
are
coordinating
and
supporting
those
that
those
are
also
able
to
get
people
to
and
from
work
every
single
day
in
a
very
convenient,
reliable
fashion.
B
Additionally,
we
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
disruption
that
is
happening
in
our
transportation
from
right
now,
from
shared
trips
from
things
like
uber
and
lyft,
as
well
as
things
like
autonomous
vehicles
in
the
future
and
electric
vehicles
more
in
the
near-term
we'd
be
able
to
hire
somebody
who
can
help
us
better,
coordinate
our
streets
and
make
sure
that
as
TNCs
and
EVs
and
autonomous
vehicles
of
all
that
they're
they're
doing
so
in
a
regulated
fashion.
That
works
well
for
the
objectives
of
our
constituents.
B
So
in
total
this,
what
this
package
is
is
really
a
response
to.
Is
these
these
two
different
items?
One
is
the
fact.
This
we've
heard
a
tremendous
amount
from
our
collective
constituents
that
there's
a
need
for
greater
management
of
parking
throughout
the
city
of
Boston.
We
see
that
again
in
that
escalation
of
through
on
one
calls
we're
trying
not
to
we're
trying
to
sort
of
focus
our
adjustments
on
those
things
that
residents
have
told
us.
B
They
are
most
interested
in
so
again
improving
resident
parking
experience,
improving
the
business
parking
experience,
making
sure
that
we
are
reducing
congestion
on
our
streets,
the
extent
possible
and
improving
the
cleanness
of
our
streets,
and
by
doing
that,
we're
then
able
to
invest
in
a
whole
set
of
transportation
investments
that
we
have
collectively
imagined
and
planned
for
through
the
go
Boston
2030
process,
so
that
is
sort
of
a
high
level
the
overview.
We
are
happy
to
dive
into
any
of
the
specifics
that
and
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
very.
A
I'm
glad
the
mayor
has
put
this
matter
before
us,
so
we
can
review
all
of
our
current
policies
in
this
area.
I
regret
that
I'm
able
to
participate
in
person,
but
I
look
forward
to
reviewing
the
video
of
the
hearing
and
as
well
as
any
other
written
testimony
that
is
submitted
sincerely
josh
has
a
come
so
throw
it
out
to
my
colleagues
any
initial
questions
from
the
council
of
seoeon
I.
C
A
E
A
A
C
Do
a
means
of
in-state
out-of-state
most
of
my
complaints,
especially
in
my
neighborhood
there's
a
ton
of
out-of-state
plates
and
I
know
it's
really
difficult
to
you
know.
Students
bake
basically
have
the
ability,
I
guess
to
not.
He
not
be
required
to
register
their
car
if
they're
attending
you
know
an
undergraduate
course
I
believe.
Yes,.
A
So
that
points
okay
so
further
and
for
the
ratification
of
those
may
be
watching
at
home.
What
is
the
rule
so
because
we
get
calls
to
my
office
you'll
have
someone
in
front
of
their
home
with
the
Michigan
license
plate
and
they
call
the
office
repeatedly
saying
it's
been
on
front
of
my
house
for
three
months.
You
know:
aren't
they
supposed
to
switch
over?
What
are
the
rules
and
how
do
we
enforce
it?.
F
Counsel
that
they
are
supposed
to
switch
over
if
their
residence
here
for
more
than
30
days,
students
are
exempt
from
that,
as
well
as
active
military
personnel.
The
challenge
with
enforcing
that
is
that
it
has
to
be
observed
for
30
consecutive
days
and
it's
almost
as
if
a
ticket
has
to
be
issued.
30
consecutive
days
before
you
can
advance,
through
the
registry
of
Motor,
Vehicles
and
state
agencies,
to
require
the
registration
here
in
state.
A
F
Are
quite
diligent
with
regard
to
enforcing
resident
permit
regulations
and
out
of
state
vehicles
are
not
allowed
to
participate
in
the
program
unless
they're
active
military
one
of
the
sort
of
the
the
spur
for
a
resident
parking
program
is
when
there's
an
influx
of
people
that
don't
live
in
the
neighborhood
coming
to
park
there.
It
does
include,
in
some
cases,
students
or
vehicles
that
are
not
registered
in
state
registered
outside
of
the
neighborhood,
and
that's
where
a
resident
parking
program
can
be
quite
helpful.
So.
A
A
Repeated
effort
also
coupled
with
in
how
you
dissect
this
from
3-1-1
I,
talked
to
some
of
the
3-1-1
employees.
In
terms
of
the
sometimes
there's
an
organized
effort
there
may
be
a
campaign
or
there'll
be
a
specific
building
or
from
a
community
group.
They'll
say
you
got
to
call
you
I
call
you
a
call,
and
so
you'll
they're,
just
the
three
one
one
will
just
be
flooded
with
calls
on
one
specific
issue,
and
then
we
react
to
it.
A
B
A
Some
folks
have
mastered
the
phone
tree,
which
you
know
it's
fair
game,
because
we
have
a
3-1-1
system
and
we
are
in
a
day
and
age
of
sort
of
you
know
dashboard
and
digital
stuff,
and
sometimes
the
person
I
wanted.
The
phone
calls
one
side
of
perspective
and
then,
if
you
actually
get
out
there
in
the
name
of
the
street,
you
see
a
different
perspective.
A
But
so
it's
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
conscious
of
sort
of
the
organized
effort,
the
campaign,
a
phone
tree
that,
when
we're
reacting,
we're
doing
it
because
it's
in
the
interest
of
Public
Safety
were
doing
it
because
it
makes
sense
we're
not
just
you
got
to
stop
these
three
one.
One
calls
that
one
building
calls
50
times
a
day.
You
know
every
day
for
the
whole
year
we
just
got
to.
We
got
to
move
the
spot
or
we
got
to
change
this
or
bump
that
out.
B
One
out
to
that
point,
I
mean
one
of
the
I
think
there's
a
need
to
sort
of
solve
the
underlying
problems.
That's
exactly
that
point.
It's
and
one
of
the
things
which
is
in
this
proposal
that
we've
certainly
heard
from
this
body
in
the
past,
is
that
there
is.
There
has
traditionally
been
a
gap
in
sort
of
the
period
of
enforcement
that
parking
enforcement
officers
have
been
available.
B
We
do
get
a
high
number
of
calls
serving
during
hours
when
they're
gonna,
secure
parking
enforcement
officers
on
this
would
allow
us
to
hire
an
additional
parking
enforcement
supervisor.
So
we
can
look
at
what
the
shift
structure
might
be.
Look
might
look
like,
so
we
can
respond
to
some
of
your
previous
requests
around
the
the
optimal
shift
structure
for
parking
enforcement,
which
tier
point
counselor
helps
us
get
to
the
underlying.
If
there's
an
underlying
problem
we
need
to
solve,
we
should
solve
that
rather
than
here
every
single
day,
50
different
calls
and.
A
So
and
why
we
not
having
a
conversation
but
maybe
potentially
expanding
the
hours,
so
my
issue-
I'm
gonna,
but
I-
have
severe
reservations
boat
on
the
on
the
mediate
parking
side.
Until
we
address
the
handicapped,
parking,
Fraud
and
Abuse,
as
the
chair
I
can't
move
the
parking
meter
one
forward,
it
just
wouldn't
be
fair.
A
Furthermore,
it
would
just
exacerbate
the
abuse,
because
if
people
realize
that
the
fines
are
gonna,
go
up,
that's
just
going
to
encourage
more
people
to
go
to
their
doctor
to
get
the
note
to
get
the
free
pass
so
which
would
then
in
turn,
cause
us
to
lose
additional
revenue,
so
serious
reservations
on
the
schedule
that
that
speaks
to
parking
meters
until
that
gets
addressed,
and
that's
just
a
matter
of
basic
fairness.
It's
everyone
paint
playing
by
the
rules
being
punished,
and
once
we
increase
the
fines,
it's
gonna
increase.
Circling
the
block.
A
It's
gonna
increase
the
handicapped
parking
fronting
abuse.
It's
gonna
decrease
our
parking
meter
revenue.
So
on
that
note,
you
guys
come
here
to
the
council
for
the
fine
schedule,
but
you
don't
come
here
for
increasing
the
meter
fee.
So
sorry,
I
gotta
understand
that
a
little
better
and
then
further
while
we're
here.
Why
are
we
talking
about
moving
the
meters
beyond
eight
o'clock?
My
former
colleague
our
former
colleague
City
Council,
Salomon
Tina
I,
think
had
raised
that
issue.
A
We
see
it
happening
across
the
country
where
you
know
meters
are
available,
till
10,
maybe
11
o'clock
at
night,
so
I
guess
I,
don't
know
what
thought
has
gone
into
whether
or
not
so
right
now
we're
8
a.m.
to
8
p.m.
should
we
be
7:00
a.m.
you
know,
11
p.m.
I
don't
know,
and
if
so,
what
would
that
generate
for
additional
revenue?
But
again
the
door
is
open.
Here
we
can
address
the
handicapped,
parking,
Fraud
and
Abuse
once
and
for
all.
A
Serious
reservation
says
that
she
and
I
move
anything
around
handicap
around
parking
meters
until
that's
addressed
and
then,
while
we're
here,
aren't
we
when
we
talk
about
the
meter
fees,
why
doesn't
the
council
have
input
on
the
meter
fees
like
we
do
on
the
schedule
of
fines
and
then
why
don't
we
move
in
the
hours
to
adjust
to
the
changing
city?
So
I
know
that's
a
lot
in
2000.
E
B
D
A
D
A
Would
which
would
then
eliminate,
probably
80,
maybe
90
percent,
over
a
fraud
abuse?
Can
the
city
do
a
pilot
program,
so
we
do
pilot
programs
around
surge
pricing
around
special
events
for
meters?
Why
couldn't
we
sort
of
adopt
a
zone
or
a
pilot
program
whereby
we're
saying
you
know
in
this
area?
If
you
have
a
handicap
placard,
you
have
to
pay
the
meal
like
everybody
else,
it's
gonna
reduce
the
circling
of
the
block.
It's
gonna
reduce
the
fraud
and
the
abuse,
and
it's
gonna
I
guess
have
a
level
of
fair
playing
field
for
those.
F
If
legislation
were
to
pass,
we
could
certainly
implement
that.
Currently
we're
not
allowed
to
charge
at
parking
meters
for
vehicles
with
the
handicapped,
player
or
placard
or
disabled
veterans.
We
have
worked
hard
with
the
Registrar
of
motor
vehicles,
as
well
as
with
the
inspector
general
Commissioner.
Micajah
also
sits
on
that
commission
and
they've
done
some
good
work
around
reforms,
both
orth
regard
to
the
placard
distribution
and
how
they
the
program
is
administered
through
the
RMV,
as
well
as
with
placard
design
so
that
they
are
required
to
be
renewed
on
a
more
regular
basis.
F
B
A
A
F
B
Say
if
there
are
particular
corridors
where
you
think
that
would
make
make
sense.
We
certainly
here
in
some
areas
where
there
are
meters
that
are
kind
of
on
the
edge
between
a
residential
area
and
a
business
area
that
there's
a
preference
for
an
earlier
termination
in
the
meter
hour.
So
they
essentially
convert
to
resident
parking
after
a
after
a
certain
period
of
time.
But
if
there
are
places
to
your
point
where
there's
a
high
number
of
restaurants
or
things
that,
where
this
turnover
later
and
later
tonight,
then.
G
A
So
you
see
per
tick
the
end
around
a
lot
of
the
restaurants.
You
see
the
mad
dash
from
the
waitstaff
and
the
dishwashers.
Anyone
else
just
running
on
a
panic
with
a
fistful
of
quarters
just
to
get
to
the
eight
o'clock
hour.
I
guess
so,
wanna
make
sure
we're
I
guess
we're
not
hurting
those
workers
that
need
somewhere
to
park
they're
in
a
living
but
yeah.
It
creates
some
congestion
and
confusion
and
then
on
the
uber
and
the
left
side
of
the
house.
A
Room
I
mean
that's,
that's
that's
a
big
chunk
of
this
stuff
they're
getting
a
free
pass
and
we
had
Boston
police
in
before
us
the
other
day
with
the
Hackney
Division.
So
the
Hackney
Division
is,
you
know
quickly
decreasing
if
you
will
not
so
much
the
division
but
the
need
for
it,
but
uber
and
lyft
every
car,
every
other
car
of
kadia
Lefkada
right
confronting
a
car
behind
you,
everyone
picking
up
dropping
off
in
the
middle
street
on
the
side,
they're
just
lawlessness.
B
There's
about
96
thousand
trips
or
last
year,
they're
about
96,000
new
uber
lyft
trips
that
started
in
the
city
of
Boston
every
day,
so
your
pointers
are
very
hot.
This
is
a
very
high
volume,
just
under
35
million
in
total,
all
in
all
2017.
So
one
of
the
things
that
the
Transportation
Department
is
doing
is
getting
an
exactly
the
issue
that
you
raise.
B
How
do
we
actually
get
those
vehicles
to
the
curb
so
that
they
actual
pickup
and
drop
off
can
actually
be
safer,
that
they
are
not
stopping
to
travel
in
causing
congestion
and
safety
issues
across
our
city?
So
the
pilot
we
have
coming
out,
but
that
is
the
piece
that's
sort
of
within
our
control
that
we
can
do
in
the
near
term
and
then
some
longer-term
efforts
as
well
sure.
F
So
a
couple
of
things
around
uber
and
lyft
and
TNC
operations.
One
is
that
increasing
the
fine
for
double
parking
should
help
address
that,
as
well
as
some
of
the
reinvestments
in
the
transportation
department,
with
a
dedicated
staff
to
work
with
TNCs
and
to
identify
how
best
to
address
those
issues
along
with
that
is
a
position
in
this
budget
as
part
of
the
reinvestment
to
better
manage
tap
as
a
transportation
access
plan
agreements
with
larger
developers.
F
Our
objective
is
really
to
encourage
them
to
provide
space
within
their
own
property
for
both
loading
as
well
as
TNC
pick-up
and
drop-off.
When,
when
the
Boston
Marathon
was
taking
place
here,
uber
was
the
sponsor
of
the
marathon.
So
we
worked
with
the
BAA
as
well
as
uber,
to
identify
some
rendezvous
points
that
were
sort
of
conveniently
located,
but
outside
of
the
the
core
race
course,
and
that
seemed
to
work
very
well.
F
A
Just
on
that
Commissioner
that
would
require
a
meeting
me
to
literally
have
to
be
like
I
got
you
like,
so
nuba
pulls
over
so
I
think
from
on
the
double
parking
side
of
the
house.
That's
gonna,
be
it's
gonna,
be
very
rare.
It's
gonna
be
very
confrontational.
You
know
if
someone
pulling
away
and
I'm
a
meter
maid
trying
to
follow
them,
just
slap
the
sticker
on
the
windshield
I
would
I
if
someone's
gonna
get
hurt.
That
would
have
probably
have
to
be
enforcement
from
from
our
Police
Department.
A
F
Certainly
always
encourage
our
officers,
particularly
when
a
vehicle
is
stopped
in
a
travel
lane.
Sometimes
the
driver
is
in
the
vehicle,
with
hazard
lights,
on,
if
they're,
creating
a
safety
hazard
for
other
motorists
as
well
as
cyclists,
and
we
want
them
to
find
a
curbside
spot.
So
our
objective
would
be
to
provide
these
rendezvous
points
so
that
working
with
uber
and
lyft,
we
can
geocode
some
areas
within
popular
destination
points
where
they
would
have
access
to
a
curbside
location
where
they
could
meet
their
customers
as
well
as
safely
allow
the
customer
to
disembark.
G
B
Things
like
LA,
New,
York,
Chicago,
San
Francisco,
it's
a
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
variation,
but,
for
example,
if
you
were
to
look
at
meters,
meter
expired
right
now
in
Boston
it's
25.
What
we're
proposing
is
goes
from
25
to
40
in
the
New
York
City,
central
business
district.
That's
actually
at
65
with
the
rest
of
New
York,
it's
$35
in
Chicago,
it's
either
$50
or
$65
in
San
Francisco.
It's
either
73
dollars
or
84
dollars.
So
it
is
closer
to
those
still
less
than
what
some
of
our
other
cert
peer
cities
would
be.
B
G
And
will
that
be
sort
of
again
I
don't
want
to
use
the
word
earmark
but
directed
towards
I
know
that
I
appreciate
the
mayor's
efforts
in
your
efforts
to
put
that
into
better
cycling,
and
rather
multiple
mold.
Is
that
the
plan
with
this
correctly
and
are
we
expanding
the
I
believe
the
answer
is
yes,
but
the
the
the
Charlestown
pilot
program
in
terms
of
note
showing
on
street
clean,
that's
gonna,
be
citywide.
You.
B
The
thought
was
that
the
overnight
program
is
where,
from
the
Public
Works
perspective,
they
felt
that
it
would
both
have
the
behavior
change
and
we'd
still
be
able
to
address
any
places
where
a
car
wasn't
moved
that
for
us
to
go
from
one
neighborhood
to
the
entire
city.
So
quickly
might
actually
leave
us
with
some
places.
The
city
we're
not
gonna,
be
able
to
get
to
the
curb
and
get
get
our
streets
to
be
as
cleaner.
Those
are
residents
want,
so
this
is
sort
of
the
next
logical
step
that
we
felt
would
but.
G
Then
to
that
point-
and
we've
talked
chief
on
this
before-
and
this
may
not
be
the
pertinent
issue
for
this,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
demand
more
of
our
of
our
vendors
with
whom
we
work
in
terms
of
towing.
There
are
different
rules
for
different
tow
companies.
The
mere
fact
that
one
of
the
largest
ones,
which
is
in
my
district
and
I've,
had
to
pick
up
my
car.
There
refuses
to
take
cash
when
it
says
specifically
refuses.
H
A
G
Other
than
cash
I
understand,
checks,
I
understand
credit
cards.
Debit
cards
are
the
same
as
cash.
They,
of
course,
have
a
ATM
on-site
and
there
been
issues
in
terms
of
people
whose
informations
been
compromised.
So
it's
something
like
that.
I
think
it's
unconscionable
and
we
should
make
that
a
requirement
of
any
vendor
that
wants
to
get
a
contract
be
able
to
have
a
certain.
You
know
consumer
protections
there.
Yes,
I
did
we'll
just
you
follow
up
on
that
later
and
then
do
does.
G
G
B
We've
had
a
number
of
conversations
about
that
and
a
lot
of
what
btv
does
and
many
scheming
negotiates
is
think
about
off
street
locations
within
private
developments,
which,
if
any,
can
talk
about
we're,
also
thinking
about
how
to
have
more
public
access
to
evey
charging
in
the
right
strategy
for
that.
Well,
we.
E
G
G
F
G
J
C
D
C
F
Are
a
number
of
capabilities
and
the
handheld
devices
and
one
is
to
preload
files
in
them?
One
of
them
is
the
resident
permit
parking
files
so
that
when
a
vehicle
is
parked
in
a
resident
permit
area
before
ticket
is
issued
for
that
violation,
the
plate,
would
the
officer
would
be
alerted
that
there
is
a
valid
permit
for
whatever
neighborhood
they
happen
to
have
it
for
as
well
as
the
boot
file.
F
C
C
Yeah
I'm
just
thinking
there
may
be
a
way
to
really
kind
of
identify,
chronic
offenders
right
that
either
a
don't
pay
their
fines
at
all
or
just
keep
doing
the
same
thing
over
and
over
again
and
and
I
think
this
was
asked
so
I
apologize.
But
this
all
this
revenue
would
go
into
the
parking
meter
fund
and
then
be
appropriated
from
there.
So.
B
C
And
so
I
I
support
these
increases
I
to
council,
a
flower
tease
point
I
support
the
increase,
especially
in
the
street
cleaning.
Fine,
a
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
go
to
tow
company
right
now.
Forty
goes
to
us,
I
think
and
we've
said
this
many
times
the
increase
from
40
to
90
and
no
toe
maybe
would
help.
C
You
know
a
Hokie
hanging
on
to
the
side
blowing
the
dirt
out
from
the
parked
car
and
I
again,
I
think
the
goal
is
to
clean
our
streets
and
I
understand
that,
but
when
we're
not
getting
we're
not
benefiting
financially
from
those
scofflaws,
and
maybe
we
should
analyze
the
kind
of
revenue
we're
getting,
would
it
be
offset
by
having
someone
do
that
I'd
be
even
for
raising
it
more
and
then.
Lastly,
my
only
nitpicky
thing
here
is
the
parking
too
far
from
the
curb
going
from
45
to
75.
C
I.
Think
that
and
again
this
is
speculation,
but
I
would
think
that
it's
probably
inexperienced
Parkers
and
elderly
Parker's.
That
are
the
the
main
violators
of
that,
probably
because
the
newer
drivers
don't
have
it
down
yet
parallel
parking
and
elderly
might
need
a
little
extra
room
to
a
passenger
to
get
out
or
whatever
just
wondering.
If
we
look
at
that,
a
little
I.
C
C
F
A
J
A
J
For
all
being
here,
I
have
a
quick
question.
This
morning,
I
happen
to
see
two
vehicles
being
towed
for
vehicles
being
towed
for
street
cleaning
and
I
and
I'm
curious
about
the
time
sometimes
wasted.
While
we
wait
for
all
of
those
cars
to
get
moved,
but
then
also
of
those
four
cars
that
were
towed,
two
of
them
had
out-of-state
license
plates
and.
K
J
Know
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods,
we
have
so
many
residents
that
have
not
registered
permanent
residency
here.
Haven't
we
registered
their
cars,
so
they
are
not
paying
state
insurance
rates,
excise
taxes,
all
that
sort
of
stuff,
so
one
of
if
there
is
any
measurement
around
the
time,
that's
wasted
when
we
tow,
but
then
also
the
loss
of
that
tax
revenue
on
the
excise
tax
piece
for
cars
that
are
registered
outside
the
city.
So.
B
That's
right,
the
Commonwealth
on
the
first
one
you're,
absolutely
right:
there
is
there.
It
does
slow
up
the
street
cleaning
process
as
we
wait
for
tow.
So
one
of
the
hopes
with
this
is
it
actually
will
make
our
overall
street
cleaning
program
actually
much
more
efficient
because
we're
not
waiting
for
that
tow
over.
B
D
As
far
as
registered
vehicles,
our
person
does
have
30
days
to
register
a
vehicle
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
we
were
finding
it
a
little
difficult
to
enforce
that,
since
we
have
to
ticket
them
consecutively
30
days
to.
In
order
to
to
know
that
they've
been
there
and
have
not
registered
a
car.
But
any
out-of-state
vehicle
is
not
eligible
to
get
a
resident
sticker
for
any
neighborhood
for
the
neighborhood.
They
may
be
parking
in
or
any
other.
F
Clarify
counselor:
they
need
to
be
observed
for
30
days
before
the
information
can
be
brought
to
the
Registry
of
Motor
Vehicles
or
the
Insurance
Commission,
because
that's
actually,
where
the
violation
would
would
would
be,
would
be
enforced.
It's
technically
not
a
parking
violation
simply
to
have
an
out-of-state
vehicle
on
a
city
street
unless
it's
in
a
resident
permit
area.
Raising
the
fine
for
resident
parking
would
certainly
allow
us
to
better
manage
that
program.
But
it's
actually
not
a
blanket
parking
violation
that
we
can
enforce
is.
J
My
biggest
frustration
is
after
a
snowstorm
and
there's
a
car,
that's
defrosted
over
a
couple
of
weeks
and
as
that
snow
melts
away,
you
realize
it's
a
it's
someone
from
Connecticut
what
Rhode,
Island
or
somewhere
else
and
knowing
that
they're
not
contributing
at
all
to
excise
taxes
in
particular.
But
that's
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
We.
J
A
You
thank
you
and
just
responding
to
council
SEO
most
question
so
cbc
6
dash
6.3
go
if
we
go
to
t
it's
just
the
fine
for
packing
a
vehicle
in
excess
of
12
inches
from
the
edge
of
a
curb
or
roadway
she'll,
be
$35.
A
penalty
of
$11
she'll
be
assessed
that
the
fine
remains
unpaid
21
days
after
the
issuance.
So
is
that
one
that's
in
this
list
of
to
be
revisited.
B

A
G
Quick
question
follow
up
on
councilor
sabi
George,
perhaps
I'm
missing
this,
but
as
it
relates
to
the
out-of-state
folks,
which
is
an
issue
that
we
all
deal
with
and
I
know
you
folks
deal
with
it
and
I
understand,
I.
Think
what
you're
saying
that
we'd
have
you'd
have
to
observe
it
every
day
for
30
days
to
show
a
pattern,
but
why?
Why
couldn't
we
observe
it
once
say
a
month
or
two
or
three
months
later
observe
it
again
and
then
at
least
send
a
letter
or
something
now
I
think
the
point
would
be.
G
F
F
G
F
G
G
Students
are
less
my
concern
that
there's
there's
a
significant
number
of
you
know:
younger
professionals,
even
older
professionals
who
I
know,
live
full-time
in
our
neighborhoods
and
register
their
cars,
either
out
of
state
or
certainly
out
of
City,
because
it's
a
lot
less
expensive
and
it
then
creates
a
system
that
those
of
us
who
play
by
the
rules
are
paying
much
our
insurance
premiums
and
I
just
I.
Don't
know
how
we
how
we
can
address
that.
G
G
C
A
No
may
not
become
like
that
all
colleagues
get
from
that,
so
very
good,
so
I
just
want
to
run
through
the
list
of
12
just
so
that
we're
on
the
same
page
and
then
Stephen
indicate
he's
gonna.
Get
me
a
neighborhood
by
neighborhood
breakdown
of
violations
from
that
just
and
then
you
heard
my
concerns
around
the
the
parking
meters
situation,
so
section
1
says
the
current
fee
is
$75.
You
are
proposing
moving
that
to
$90
that's
parking,
a
vehicle
and
violation
of
any
posted
prohibition
against
stopping
a
standing
of
motor
vehicles.
A
The
second
one
is
double
parking
within
zone.
A
currently
is
$45.
You
guys
are
proposing
$75.
It's
my
understanding
that
zone
a
is
basically
from
the
waterfront
and
that's
I
guess
through
East
Boston
Charlestown
North
End
around
the
southwest
waterfront,
all
the
way
out
to
Mass
Ave
is
technically
zone
a
and
anything
from
Mass
Ave
further
out
as
Zone
B.
Is
that
my
reading.
A
F
A
So
North
End
the
downtown
along
the
water,
South
Boston
waterfront,
all
the
way
out
to
Mass
Ave
is
zone.
A
everything
else
is
on
B,
including
East,
Boston,
okay,
yeah
double
parking
within
zone
a
goes
from
45
to
75.
Under
your
proposal,
double
parking
with
in
Zone
B
goes
from
30
to
55
and
does
that
include
she's
owned
B?
So
if
we
were
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
do
we
also
sell
Faust
and
sell
Boston
neighborhood?
That
would
be
Zone,
A
or
zombie
South.
A
A
Parking
within
residential
parking
districts
with
no
resident
parking
sticker.
Currently
it's
now
40,
you
guys
are
proposing
60
parking
a
vehicle
in
violation
of
the
prohibition
against
parking
in
a
loading
zone.
It's
currently
55
you
guys
are
proposing
90
practing
a
vehicle
and
violation
of
the
prohibition
against
parking,
a
motor
vehicle
within
zone.
A
currently,
it's
55,
you
guys
are
proposing
90
Steve.
Can
you
explain
what
that
is?
Practing
a
vehicle
and
violation
of
prohibition
against
parking
motor
vehicles
within
zone
a.
F
D
B
A
Next
won't
be
parking
a
vehicle
and
violation
of
prohibition
against
parking,
a
motor
vehicle
within
zone.
A
it's
currently
55
you're,
proposing
90
parking
a
vehicle
in
a
metered
space
when
the
parking
meter
zone
is
effective,
failing
to
pay
the
amount
in
time.
Currently
it's
25
proposed
fee
is
40.
You
hear
my
argument
on
that.
One
parking
a
vehicle
other
than
a
commercial
one
in
a
metered
space
over
the
time
limit
in
a
particular
zone
current
fee
is
25
proposed
fee
is
40.
A
You
obviously
heard
heard
my
concerns
about
the
admin
parking,
a
vehicle
and
violation
of
prohibition
against
parking
of
Motor
Vehicles
with
in
Zone
B,
currently
25
you're,
proposing
55
parking
over
the
posted
limit
with
in
Zone
B,
currently
is
25
you're,
proposing
40
and
then,
as
referenced
earlier.
There
was
council
of
CO,
moyen
or
council
O'malley
talking
about
the
street
cleaning,
which
is
our
concerns,
parking
a
vehicle
and
designated
for
street
cleaning
within
one
or
more
pilot
zones.
How
many
pilots
owns?
Do
we
currently
have
other
than
Charlestown.
A
F
A
B
A
You
know,
city
is
being
that
and
then
we
also
went
one
Clara
further
clarification
on
on
pilot
program
aside
in
an
area
where
I
believe
that
meter
fees
or
also
should
be
done
by
ordinance
and
currently
it's
sort
of
done
by
pilot
in
response
to
you
know,
initiatives
and
whatever,
but
I
think
that
that
should
be
codified.
Just
my
working
knowledge
of
the
building,
and
so
we
get
some
further
clarification
as
to
in
instances
where
we
were
going
to
I,
guess,
jack-up
meter
fees.
A
I
would
argue
that
that
has
to
come
through
the
council,
similar
to
how
you're
before
the
council
now.
So
it's
with
the
exception
of
RC
pilot
programs.
We
do
the
pilot
program,
we
get
a
sample
kind
of
test
the
waters
a
little
bit
and
then,
when
we
that
we
want
to
either
make
that
pilot
permanent
or
we
want
to
expand
in
all
other
instances.
Whether
it's
sandwich
boards
pilot
programs
at
council,
Mally
council,
see
all
of
us
have
been
part
of
when
those
pilot
programs
become
permanent.
A
They
then
come
back
through
the
council
and
have
them
sort
of
made
permanent
and
codified.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
sidestepping
the
legislative
branch
of
city
government
when
it
comes
to
fees
and
fines,
particularly
we
have
in
the
discussion
on
me
to
fee
stories.
I've
also
been
joined
by
my
colleague,
City
Council
Michelle
woo
good
morning,
Council
woo
any
questions
at
this
time.
So.
K
I'm,
sorry,
if
this
is
doubling
back
I
really
just
had
one
I
guess
overall,
I
think
this
is
great
I
think
it's
about
aligning
incentives
for
people
who
are
parking
their
cars.
You
know
when
it's
cheaper
to
just
take
the
ticket
versus
go,
find
a
garage
that
you
know
we're
gonna
see
this
happen.
But
what
happens?
If
the
projections
don't
are
the
what
happens
if
the
actual
revenues
from
people
receiving
the
fines
don't
hit
five
million
in
terms
of
what
we're
trying
to
what
you
all
are
trying
to
do
on
the
programmatic
side?
B
Ultimate
answer
that
the
specific
question
is
actually
best
handled
by
our
budget
office,
but
they,
the
expectation,
is,
this
will
raise
five
million
dollars,
but
the
approval
of
the
mayor's
proposed
operating
capital
budget
is
what
essentially
relies
on
this
revenue
investment.
This
revenue
is
not
tied
to
those
specific
capital
and
operating
investments,
so
those
would
those
would
proceed
as
well
and
they're
not
tied
to
the
revenue,
become
specific.
K
Okay,
great
I,
guess
a
sort
of
corollary
question
is:
would
you
expect
just
based
on
analysis
of
parking
behavior
that
the
first
years
kind
of
revenues
would
be
higher
as
people
realize
that
this
is
actually
happening,
and
then
it
goes
down
from
there
or?
How
are
you
thinking
about
year?
Two
three,
four
and.
B
So,
there's
not
a
lot
of
fantastic
research
about
that
sort
of
looks
at
longitudinal
trends,
but
what
we
have
basically
peg
this
to
is
some
research
that
has
shown
when
you
do
increase
fines.
What
is
the
relative
behavior
change?
So
we
think
we've
taken
a
fairly
sort
of
conservative
attack
based
on
sort
of
research
and
it
does
not
seem
like
there
is
increasing
behavior
change
after
subs
years
and
you
capture
most
that
behavior
change
sort
of
in
the
first
year
and
that
it
endures,
but
it
doesn't
continue
to
decline.
Okay,.
K
B
Were
really
looking
at
both
sort
of
a
pier
city
comparison,
where
are
some
other
cities
that
are
in
this
space
and
also
trying
to
respond
to
the
volume
of
complaints
that
we
were
getting
from
constituents
and
to
your
earlier
point
around
some
things
like
meter
fees?
Looking
at
the
fact
that
there
are
some
locations
in
our
city
where
potentially
the
financially
rational
decision
is
to
not
pay
the
meter
park
at
the
curb
get
the
ticket
rather
than
to
pay
for
a
parking
garage?
Do.
K
B
A
Thank
You
counsel,
who's
aware
this
is
the
period
where
we
shift
to
public
testimony
so
we're
waiting
for
the
sheet.
If
there's
anyone
wishing
to
offer
a
public
testimony,
may
do
so
now
or
forever
hold
your
peace,
and
you
do
so
by
coming
down
to
the
microphone
to
the
left.
Well,
I,
just
ask
that
you
state
your
name
and
affiliation
for
the
record
and,
and
you
have
the
floor.
H
Hi
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Andrew
McFarland
I'm,
the
Community
Engagement
Manager
for
a
livable
streets.
Alliance
I
want
to
thank
the
government
operations
committee
for
holding
this
hearing
and
just
say
that
Louisville
streets
is
very
supportive
of
the
proposed
fines
increase
and
we
just
want
to
kind
of
Center
on
like
what
the
benefits
are
for
this.
This
proposal.
We're
really
excited
that
this
will
help
advance,
go
Boston,
2030
and
all
the
benefits
they'll
have
for
walking
biking,
taking
transit
and
better
using
our
roads
for
cars.
H
You
know,
go
boston
was
a
really
an
outpouring
of
huge
public
engagement
with
people
across
the
city
so
helping
further.
That
is
really
in
the
interest
of
the
city.
We
think
I
just
want
to
focus
on
one
specific
aspect
of
where
this
money
will
go
is
the
proposed
transit
team.
We
can't
really
stress
how
important
that
is
that
the
city
will
have
staffing
and
resources
dedicated
to
fixing
our
bus
system.
This
has
been
a
big
initiative
of
Louisville
streets
over
the
last
few
years
we've
been
advocating
for
such
staffing.
H
You
know
iteration
of
the
pilot,
but
we're
hopefully
gonna
see
more
of
it
in
the
weeks
to
come,
but
that
pilot
has
been
successful
because
the
city
has
let
let
it
themselves
and
I
think
that
that's
a
really
important
lesson
and
why
we
really
need
this
Transit
team.
We
understand
our
streets,
we
understand
our
neighborhoods,
we
can
best
weed
these
improvements
in
transit
and
the
city
should
take
the
initiative
and
doing
that
and
I
think
that
these
fines
and
fees
and
increases
are,
you
know
all
the
more
reason
why
we
need
more
substantial
parking
reform.
H
You
know
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
councilor
clarity's
points
about
expanding
the
times
when
we're
having
metered
fees
in
action
for
four
parking
meters,
and
we
should
also
be
thinking
about.
Where
are
we
going
to
be
expanding
meters
to
other
parts
of
the
city?
Livable
streets
have
circulated
a
parking
memo
with
the
council
and
has
some
ideas
for
ways
that
we
can
tackle
parking
reform.
You
know
I
think
it
requires
a
characteristic
approach.
H
You
know
the
fines
increase
is
a
bit
of
a
stick,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
some
more
carrots
to
incentivize,
better
use
of
our
curbside
space.
So
we
just
want
to
encourage
the
council
to
also
leave
that
discussion.
We
know
if
there's
some
action
on
that
front,
but
really
having
progressive
conversations
about
what
does
it
mean
to
better
manage
our
curbside?
It
was
really
crucial
at
this
moment.
So
just
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
attention
on
this
matter
and
urge
you
to
pass
the
mayor's
proposal.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
You
know
the
coordination
is
important,
because
just
this
week
we
were
at
a
meeting
where
Transportation
Department
was
talking
about
improvements
to
Walnut
Ave
in
Roxbury
and
they're
kind
of
taking
advantage
of
Public
Works
already
had
a.
They
were
doing,
sidewalk
repairs
in
the
area
and
they
were
about
to
put
out
a
RFP
to
do
those
improvements.
L
Since
transportation
and
Public
Works
are
now
working
much
closely
together,
they
were
identifying
other
changes
that
can
be
made
on
Walnut
Ave,
to
make
it
safer
to
get
to
the
Ellis
School
and
in
and
around
the
area,
so
they're
layering
these
contracts
to
make
a
even
bigger
impact
in
the
area,
instead
of
just
doing
one-off
repairs
on
this
street,
and
then
thinking
longer-term
about
wall
not
have
so.
This
coordination
like
there
will
be
other
ways
to
coordinate
this
here
with
this
new
budget.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
I
First
of
all,
the
research
bureau
has
a
long-standing
position
that
the
city
of
Boston
should
periodically
increased
the
fees
and
fines
so
as
to
not
lose
ground
and
keeping
fee
and
find
revenues
close
to
the
expense
of
providing
related
services,
in
this
case
transportation
services.
As
already
noted,
these
parking
fines
were
last
saw
a
comprehensive
evaluation
and
increase
around
2008.
I
My
third
point
is
that
the
proposed
parking
find
increases
are
estimated
to
raise,
as
already
noted,
the
five
million
dollars
in
additional
operating
revenue
to
improve
transportation
services
in
the
city.
Transportation
service
is
clearly
a
very
important
matter
for
both
the
business
community
and
Boston
residents.
So
those
who
live
and/or
work
in
the
city
are
able
to
move
easily
throughout
the
city.
I
We
appreciate
the
city's
focus
on
a
transit
team,
including
a
liaison
to
the
MBTA,
which
we
agree
should
help
move,
help
move
and
improve
that
service
of
busing.
The
use
of
the
dedicated
bus
lane
of
Washington
Street
in
Roslindale
could
lead
to
further
expansion
of
this
program
to
speed
up
bus
service
in
the
city
and
I.
Understand.
Folks
have
been
quite
pleased
with
that.
For
the
most
part,
in
addition,
improvements
in
bicycle
and
walking
routes
will
make
alternate
transportation
choices
more
attractive
for
those
who
live
and
work
in
the
city.
I
So
more
than
three
million
over
the
five
million
dollar
fine
increase
will
be
dedicated
to
capital
expenses
related
to
specifically
road
resurfacing
and
sidewalk
reconstruction
that
otherwise
would
likely
not
be
able
to
recur.
So,
for
these
reasons,
the
Research
Bureau
strongly
recommends
that
the
City
Council
approve
docket
number
zero,
five,
six
six
as
recommended.
Thank
you
thank.

Maybe
Monday
Tuesday
at
the
latest,
yet
we'll
have
to
take
this
up
in
short
order
and
then
and
then
take
a
look
at
neighborhood
by
neighborhood
breakdown
of
this
and
then
again
see
where,
if
something
could
be
tweaked
to
make
up
for
the
differential,
maybe
one
on
the
parking
meter
one,
but
so
that
we
can
have
a
number
that's
satisfactory
to
what
you
guys
need
to
do
to
carry
out
your
mission
and
what
folks,
here
in
the
council,
as
well
as
the
public
one
for
unnecessary
changes.
So
with
respect
to
rocket
zero.
