Who employs the parking enforcement officials?
Does this company have a say in zoning and permitting changes and decisions?
Do they have easement rights on both preexisting meters and future meters?
- cozzyd 4y agoIt's pain when attempting to add bus lanes or bike lanes, since that often involves removing street parking which has to be compensated somehow.
- tcbawo 4y agoYes, the details of the arrangement is the part I’m interested in. If the parking enforcement officials work for the city, what is their incentive for diligence? Does the city need company approval to add a loading zone or driveway, or do street work?
- selectodude 4y agoNo, but they have to recoup the money that the parking meter didn't generate and pay the consortium.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoThe parking enforcers are employed by the company but the city gets the ticket revenue. They enforce the city’s laws though so my idea has been to make the ticket some negligible amount like $1 so that everyone stops paying the meter in order to force the company to renegotiate. Lawyers probably thought of that though and made the contract iron tight. Here’s the contract https://www.chicago.gov/content/dam/city/depts/fin/supp_info/AssetLeaseAgreements/MeteredParking/AmendedRestatedConcessionAgreeement1st_2ndAmendments.pdf https://www.chicago.gov/content/dam/city/depts/fin/supp_info...
