Description
Docket #1150 - Ordinance amending City of Boston Code 18-1.16 (Parkway or Street Occupancy Permit for Delivery Vehicles)
A
Eight
permit
for
delivery
vehicles.
This
matter
was
sponsored
by
Mayor
Walsh
and
referred
to
the
community
on
government
operations
back
on
August
the
first
of
2018.
This
ordinance
seeks
to
create
a
Parkway
or
a
street
occupancy
permit
for
delivery
vehicles.
These
permits
will
ultimately
be
issued
online.
A
The
amendment
would
also
provide
that
there
is
no
surety
bond
requirement
for
the
permit
like
to
note
that
this
hearing
is
being
recorded
but
will
be
broadcast
at
a
later
date
on
comcast
channel
8,
RC
and
channel
82
and

also
streamlined
on
the
Boston
City
Council.
A
TV
online
joining
us
today
is
the
director
of
strategic
initiatives
and
the
boss
on
transportation
in
Public,
Works
Department,
the.
Unless
sir
I
now
turn
it
over
to
Dan
to
introduce
him
he'll
introduce
himself
and
discuss
this
ordinance
in
greater
detail.
B
You
councillor
glad
to
be
here
so
we're
we
put
this
ordinance
forward,
partly
as
a
process
over
the
last
six
months
we've
been
thinking
about.
How
do
you
make
moving
truck
permits,
much
more
customer
friendly
and
out
of
that
process?
We
redid
the
online
experience
and
we
also
went
from
a
two
step
process
where
to
go
from
transportation,
Public
Works
Department
to
a
one
step
process.
On
the
second
floor
out
of
that
process,
working
with
the
B
TDM
Public
Works
staff,
they
highlighted
the
fact
that
often
residents
asked
for
permits
for
delivery
vehicles.
B
So
usually
that
means
like
a
washing
machine,
a
couch
other
large
deliveries
that
right
now
there's
no
permit
for
that
or
there's
a
general
permit.
But
you
have
to
get
a
bond,
so
you
have
to
be
a
bonded
in
the
system
and
for
a
resident
who's,
getting
a
one-time
delivery.
That's
a
pretty
high
high
mark
that
we're
asking
them
to
go
for
board
with
and
makes
more
sense
for
a
construction
company
or
other
things
where
we're
really
worried
about
they're
damaging
the
street,
and
so
in
the
moving
for
moving
trucks.
A
Right
whoo,
so
this
is
different
from
say,
like
a
local
business
district,
where
you
know
a
Poland,
Springs
truck
pulls
up
or
a
coca-cola,
or
a
Pepsi
truck,
or
a
frito-lay
truck
and
they're
unloading,
soda
and
chips
and
what
have
to
to
a
convenience
store
or
to
a
local,
a
local
supermarket.
This
is
in
the
neighborhoods,
where
you
might
have
construction
equipment
being
delivered
to
your
house
or
an
HVAC
or
something
meaning,
maybe
lift
it
onto
your
roof.
A
B
I
think
it
could
be
used
for
commercial
vehicles
like
a
pole,
spin,
Springs
truck
I,
don't
know,
I
think
we
think
it
wouldn't
be
those
type
of
companies
we're
making
lots
of
deliveries.
You'd
have
to
put
up
these
signs
two
days
in
advance.
It
would
cost
$69
per
day
and
so
I
think
it's
more
make
sense.
If
you
have
a
vehicle
coming
to
your
house
and
we'll
spend,
you
know
15
minutes
to
a
few
hours
there
and
you
want
to
make
sure
there's
space
and
so
they're
not
double
parking
and
causing
congestion.
It.
B
They
could
do
that
I,
don't
think
we
because
they're
doing
so
many
small
deliveries
I,
don't
think
they
think
it
would
be
worth
it
and
they
would
have
to
go
out
a
days
ahead
of
time
to
each
spot
and
spend
$69
per
spot
and
so
I
think
they
could
do
that
now
and
they
haven't
so
I.
Think
we're
seeing
this
more
as
homeowners
who
have
a
one-time
need
for
this,
for
as
a
company
is
coming
to
deliver
something
so.
B
A
B
A
One
of
my
concerns
is
there's
when
you
call
sometimes
the
delivery
company
gives
you
a
window,
and
there
are
times
so
I
guess
what
are
the
requirements
on
you
RN
to
make
this
as
tight
as
possible?
You
know
you,
particularly
in
neighborhoods,
where
parking
is
at
a
premium.
There
are
no
spots
and
you
come
home
and
you
see
three
four
spaces
that
have
the
signs
don't
park
here
on
today:
September
24th,
between
the
hours
of
how
wide
are
we
given
these
delivery
companies,
because
it
ain't
all
day
because
I'm
not
gonna
support
an
all
day.
A
It
has
to
be
a
limited
window
as
to
you
know,
a
finite
universe.
A
defined
stand
defined
finish,
oh
by
the
way,
and
if
the
delivery
hasn't
been
made
by
a
certain
time
that
cash
should
be
on
the
park
there,
yep
yeah,
you
know
they
have
to
double
pocket
unload.
Then
they
get
to
do
what
they
got
to
do.
But
so
what
were
you
envisioning
for
that
window?
Is
it
a
two-hour
window
is
in
a
three
hour
window,
but
it
most
definitely
can't
be
an
eight
ten
twelve
hour
window.
I
think.
B
A
B
A
You
know
I
really
I
mean
this.
This
ordinance
I'd
have
to
like
to
you
know
hear
from
my
district
colleagues,
particularly
those
that
are
in
sort
of
densely
populated
and
particularly
around
the
downtown
sort
of
back
bay,
Beacon
Hill,
South
End.
Not
then
South
Boston,
where
again
streets
and
narrow,
parkings,
tight
I
would
argue.
They're,
not
gonna.
They're,
not
gonna,
go
for
a
7:00
a.m.
to
5:00
p.m.
window.
We'll
have
to
do
a
little
bit
better
than
that.
A
You
know
I,
quite
frankly,
I
think
the
homeowner
would
probably
appreciate
a
little
nudge
on
our
end
to
close
that
window,
that
the
delivery
company
has
to
come
because
we've
all
been
there.
You
call
ask
for
a
delivery
and
they
give
you
that
full
fine,
oh
and
they
they
sitting
around
all
day
long
waiting
for
them,
and
then
they
literally
show
up
15
minutes
before
the
windows.
Gonna
close
and
had
you
known,
you
could
have
gone
out,
ran
some
errands
did
this
that
and
the
other
thing,
so
they
think
you
know
sort
of
tightness.
C
Note
I
think
council
flare.
He
brings
up
a
great
point.
You
know
I
envisioned
when
I
read
it.
The
same
thing
was,
you
know:
Jordans
furnitures
come
and
they're
gonna
drop
off,
yes,
so
for
12
to
3
this
size.
So
we
just
picked
up
signs
down
in
the
transportation.
Regarding
the
Rossdale
festival
happening,
will
we
block
a
street
off
so
we
we
have
the
signs
in
hand.
They've
got
the
ropes
on
they're
ready
to
go.
All
those
instructions
would
be.
Will
the
sticker
that
will
be
on
the
sign?
Will
they
be
it
will?
C
C
My
second
question
would
be
as
far
as
BTD
inform
I,
wouldn't
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
it
was
on
the
enforcement
units
daily
sheet
and
maybe
even
the
captain
of
the
districts
morning
sheet,
just
in
case,
because
you
know
if
you're
in
I'm,
just
gonna,
say
back
bay
and
you're
a
mob
or
a
street,
you've
blocked
off
four
spaces
and
your
trucks
coming
to
bring
your
brand-new
sofa
and
then
somebody
park.
There,
then
you're,
then
you've
paid
the
69
bucks
and
you've
not
had
the
enforcement.
C
B
Yes,
so
they
would
have
a
sticker
saying
that
address
and
the
time
of
the
reserved
parking
spaces
I
mean
there
will
be
two
spaces
and
then
yeah.
The
enforcement
of
that
is
really
important
that,
if
somebody's
their
spot,
we
give
you
the
number
for
the
police
toe
line.
We
encourage
you
to
call
early
so
so
that,
because
I'm
gonna
takes
a
while
for
the
for
the
police
to
come
out
and
go
through
the
process,
ROM
and
then
I
think
also
using
it
fairly
right.
B
A
Also,
the
way
it
works
now
is
that
the
the
onus
is
on
the
person
pulling
the
permit
to
have
to
also
flyer
the
neighborhood,
and
you
see
the
notices
that
are
on
the
cars
and
the
doors
just
so
that
there's
no
unsuspecting
resident
a
motorist
that
may
be
working
that
night
and
comes
back
the
next
day
parks
in
that
spot.
Next
to
nothing,
you
know
they're
in
the
spot,
where
so
I
don't
know.
If
that
onus
is
gonna,
be
there
and
then
I
guess
what
is
what,
if
someone
is
what
if
someone
gets
a
one?
A
B
A
A
You
don't
put
a
flyer
than
they
ain't
gonna
happen
right,
so
it's
gonna
be
the
it's
gonna
be
the
resident.
That's
probably
gonna
have
to
do
that
and
then
in
that
instance,
the
resident
they
could
figure
it
out.
I'll,
just
I'll
just
tell
my
neighbors
that
I
got
a
delivery
coming
tomorrow
and
maybe
they'll
be
kind
enough
and
move
their
cars
out
of
the
area.
A
B
So
I
think
the
senator
is
just
to
have
to
be
know
that
you're
gonna
have
that
space
on
the
curb
and
not
to
have
to
worry
about
the
double
parking,
and
especially
if
there's,
if
the
double
parking
is
causing
cars
not
be
able
to
pass
so
I.
Think,
just
knowing
that
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
it.
You.
A
Know
and
then
in
that
instance,
the
only
people
that
is
if
we
were
unloading
the
trucks
right,
because
if
you're
not
unloading,
the
truck,
what
do
you?
What
do
you
care?
So
if
I'm
moving
and
I'm
gonna
be
there
with
the
moving
truck?
And
you
know
my
brother
and
cousins
and
everyone's
pitching
in
then
we're
gonna
want
that
truck
to
be
kind
of
right
out
in
front
of
the
house.
A
It
just
makes
the
job
easier,
but
if,
if
has
contracted
out
its
kind
of
not
really
on
you
and
you
know
the
content
of
truck
company's,
not
gonna,
pay
these
things
and
leaflet
and
fly-
oh
sorry,
I
just
don't
know
if
there's
a
one,
if
is
there
really
a
need
for
it
and
to
who's
gonna,
take
advantage
of
it
and
three:
are
we
limiting
that
time
and
we're
gonna
tiered,
like
a
two
hours
is
25
bucks?
Four
hours
is
50
bucks.
Six
hours
is
but
yeah
7:00
a.m.
to
5:00
p.m.
I.
A
Don't
know
if
that
that
dog
is
gonna
hunt
in
densely
populated
neighborhoods,
but
if
he
had
a
sort
of
a
tiered
structure
that
made
that
may
make
some
sense
here.
I,
don't
know
just
food
for
thought.
Yep
I
wish
we
actually
had
representatives
from
the
trucking
industry
here
which
we
could
potentially
do
that
in
a
working
session,
just
to
get
their
thoughts
and
ideas
around
whether
or
not
folks
in
the
trucking
industry
would
wouldn't,
if
they
think
this
is
a
good
idea,
would
they
take
advantage
of
it?
A
B
A
And
then,
as
so,
we're
really
talking
about
situations
in
sort
of
a
homeowner
situation
where
they're
having
say
a
furniture
delivery.
If
we
can
go
down
to
you,
know
the
local
Main
Street,
the
local
business
district
and
you
got
sort
of
a
7-eleven
or
you
know,
corner
store
and
they
were
getting
a
delivery
dude.
How
does
this
play
into
so?
The
small
commercial
piece
of
it
so.
B
I
think
we're
not
envisioning
that
small
commercial
businesses
using
it
cuz
I,
don't
think
it's
worth
it
because
they,
you
know
it's
a
5
minute
10
minute
delivery
happening
everyday
and
they
could,
if
they
wanted
it
I
think
we
would
have
heard
a
demand
already,
but
we
haven't
heard
anything
from
the
business
community.
It's
more
we're
hearing
from
residents
asking
hey
I
want
a
reserved
space,
because
we
know
you
know
they're
gonna
come
and
change
my
washing
machine.
Now
it's
they're
gonna
be
there
for
an
hour.
Ok,.
A
B
A
B
A
I
appreciate
you
time
and
attention
Dan,
so
it's
my
understanding
that
action
would
need
to
be
taken
on
this
matter
by
Wednesday.
So
that's
either
the
council
can
approve
it
or
they
can
reject
it
or
reject
it
without
prejudice.
But
my
sense
is
I'll
reach
out
to
some
folks
in
some
of
that
and
the
trucking
industry.
A
If
you
will
just
to
kind
of
get
their
thoughts
on
whether
or
not
they
need
it,
and
then
we
may
need
to
fine-tune
the
the
length
of
time
when
streets
or
spots,
if
you
will
will
be
kind
of
high
Hosie
for
delivery
and
again
I
think
705
may
be
a
little
bit
on
the
long
side,
I'd
like
to
kind
of
tighten
it
up
again
and
I.
Don't
know
what
what
that
magic
number
is.
Is
it
there's
a
two
hours
as
of
four
hours
at
sex,
or
do
we
have
a
sliding
scale,
yep?
A
Lot
of
sense,
there's
two
on
that:
if
it's
a
two
hours
is
25
bucks,
four
hours
is
50
bucks
and
you
know
whenever,
if
it's
anything
over
that
it,
you
know
you
can't
you
can't
get
a
garage
spot.
You
know
for
that
cheap
and
then
they're
gonna
take
holes.
You
know
two
spaces
of
you
know
off
the
street
for
the
day
that
it's
gonna
be
too
kind
of
tough
for
folks,
oh
okay.
That
concludes
this
hearing.
That's
an
ordinance
to
create
a
Parkway
or
street
occupancy
permit
for
delivery
vehicles.
Docket
one
one,
five
zero!
