CITY RESPONDS TO PARKING SOLUTIONS TASK FORCE: Mayor Curtatone convened
the PSTF - comprised of Aldermen, business and artist representatives,
residents, and municipal staff - following several changes to the City's
parking regulations.  In January, the PSTF submitted a letter, outlining
improvements.  Acting Director of Traffic and Parking, Bob Bradley
responded to PSTF recommendations, identifying short- and long-term
solutions, including: Updating the Business Permit Parking program,
creating an Artist Permit program, implementing additional permits for
non-resident landlords, extending the time limit for extended visitor
permits; and investigating potentially expanding online permitting
capabilities.  For more information on the PSTF or parking policies,
visit the Traffic and Parking website, here:
