A new pilot program to step up parking enforcement in Old Town netted 4,000 citations in its first month.
A staff memo (page 8) to the Traffic and Parking Board said that over half of the 4,000 parking citations issued through the pilot with contractor Reimagine Parking were for parking meter violations.
The program started on Dec. 27. It primarily focused on enforcement along King Street from 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday-Firday.
According to the memo:
The parking enforcement pilot supplements the City’s existing parking enforcement officers and provides parking enforcement in Old Town, primarily along and around King Street. The contractors are authorized to issue citations only and do not handle issues of towing, vehicle relocation, or booting. The parking enforcement contractors wear identifiable reflective vests with parking enforcement written on them as can be seen in the photo below.
