Friend --
At the Mayoral Forum at City Hall on Thursday, October 17th, I
stated "As to parking enforcement, it is broken. If elected I will end
the contract which expires in the next mayoral term. I will bring
enforcement in house and replace the kiosks with meters. I will
provide our seniors with free parking."
The Mayor announced today
that the city will allow free parking to seniors and people with
disabilities. Thank you to the Mayor for taking my idea and running
with it. Everyone benefits.
Below is the press release issued by the mayor yesterday.

Mayor Stephanie Muccini Burke Introduces Free
Residential Parking Permits for Seniors and People with
Disabilities
Mayor Stephanie Muccini Burke is pleased to announce that
residential parking permits are now free for seniors ages 65 and over,
and that vehicles that display a handicap placard do not need to
purchase a residential permit.
Seniors 65+
Free residential permits must be
obtained in person at ParkMedford, located at 557B Main Street.
Seniors must show a valid Massachusetts driver’s license as well as
their vehicle registration reflecting the street for which you require
a permit. Two free visitor passes will be provided upon request.
Seniors who do not have a vehicle may still get two free visitor
passes.
Many positive things are coming out of this election but we need to
change the culture of reactivity in city hall. We need a mayor with a
plan and a vision to execute proactively, with transparency and
community engagement.
We need you to get all your friends and family out to vote Breanna
Lungo-Koehn for Mayor on November 5th.
Thank You
Breanna
