Official Text

Dear Honorable Board Members:

 

In Agenda Item No. 202717, you have asked “[t]hat the City Solicitor and Director of Traffic and Parking advise what surrounding communities’ best practices are regarding home addresses written on residential guest parking permits.”

 

In order to address your question, I have researched the following communities’ practices regarding guest parking permits. It is my understanding as follows:

 

Malden - home address included

Everett - home address included

Chelsea - home address included

Arlington - no guest parking permits

Boston - no guest parking permits

Cambridge - district area parking; no home address

Medford - street name; no home address

Newton - street name; no home address

 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

 

Very truly yours,

David Shapiro

Assistant City Solicitor
