Case Invalid. Typically, a new Program, or an expansion thereof, must be initiated by neighborhood residents in the form of a petition signed by a minimum of 51% of residents, 18 years of age or older, who live on the streets proposed to be included in the Program. In general, it is required that more than one street in a neighborhood is included in a new Program request. Petitions should be submitted to the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, to the attention of the coordinator for the neighborhood where the Program is being proposed. Names and contact information for all neighborhood coordinators is available at www.cityofboston.gov/ons. Neighborhood Coordinators will work with the Boston Transportation Department/Office of the Parking Clerk to ensure that a department representative is in attendance at a community meeting to discuss the proposal in detail. As part of the process, BTD will need to make a site visit to the location and engineering plans will need to be created prior to signs being fabricated and posted. Residents should expect that the approval and implementation process will take a minimum of three months to complete, and weather and other factors may further delay the process.
