Revere Journal Story by Cary Shuman<\/a> October 21, 2020<\/p>\nWard 5 Councillor John Powers said he is opposed to the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DRC) plan to install parking meter pay stations on Revere Beach Boulevard. The 100 multi-space meters (MSMs) would serve 1,075 parking spaces from Eliot Circle to Carey Circle on both sides of the Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Powers made his opposition known to DCR officials who held a parking meter proposal meeting remotely on Oct. 15.<\/p>\n
Jennifer Norwood, of the DCR Office of External Affairs and Partnerships, expertly moderated the parking meter proposal meeting. Hazel Clarence, DCR parking operations manager, gave a precise and professional explanation of the project. Clarence\u2019s thorough presentation included graphs, signs, photos, diagrams, maps and renderings of the projects.<\/p>\n
Clarence said the Multi-Space Meters \u2013 as opposed to Single-Space Meters (SPM\/individual parking meters) \u2013 would be in operation on a seasonal basis (April 15-October 15). The program would run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The cost for each parking space would be $1.25 per hour, with no time restrictions. Vehicle owners could pay by coin, debit or credit card, or by using a mobile payment option. No annual DCR parking passes will be issued for the Revere Beach parking program.<\/p>\n
The revenue from the parking program would go to the state (DCR) budget.<\/p>\n
Powers said the Boulevard has seen an increase in traffic in recent years and that the parking meters would be a costly inconvenience to residents on the Boulevard.<\/p>\n
