It has now been over 5 months since 16 parking kiosks that cost city taxpayers $139,000 were delivered to the DPW garage on Dock Street. The Parking Study Committee's original phases one and two of the project were to have those kiosks in the ground for the Union Street parking lot and for lower and upper Warren Street (where no meters currently exist) in "the spring of 2025." Jen Belton's recently amended Phase 1 of the project now just includes kiosks for the city's 5 parking lots, to be done this summer. The summer clock is ticking. At least one of those kiosks will be installed on a Warren Street sidewalk, directly in the way of foot traffic. Well, at least that appears to be the plan. It's difficult to know what's going on with Belton and the crew of parking professionals since the committee didn't meet last month.
