Councilor Ed Flynn asked the Boston City Council to approve seven‑night‑a‑week residential parking permits in South Boston and to move forward with a municipal parking garage on West Broadway. The proposal aims to give residents more reliable access to parking and to discourage non‑residents and long‑parked cars from occupying residential spots.
South Boston has long struggled with a shortage of parking as visitors and vehicles left for days take up spaces meant for locals. The councilor’s request targets these issues by expanding permit coverage and adding new garage capacity on West Broadway.
