The Parking Advisory Committee of Revere convened on April 16, 2025, to discuss significant changes to the city's parking management system. The primary focus of the meeting was a motion to implement a pilot program involving the installation of parking sensors along Broadway, specifically at the corner of Yamans and extending to the driveway of 250 Broadway.

The committee proposed to allocate $4,673.56 from park and benefits district funds to cover the cost of ten parking sensors. These sensors will allow for a 15-minute courtesy parking period, aimed at assessing the impact on parking behavior and potential revenue loss. The Broadway area was chosen as a test site, with plans to evaluate the results before considering a broader rollout across the entire Broadway business district.

While the current motion pertains only to Broadway, discussions also touched on the Shirley Avenue district. Funding for a comprehensive parking initiative on Shirley Avenue is expected to be presented to the traffic commission in the near future, utilizing a different grant source to cover the costs.

The committee members expressed their commitment to improving parking management and enhancing the overall experience for residents and visitors. The meeting concluded without public input, as no members of the public were present. The committee remains focused on gathering data and feedback from these pilot programs to inform future decisions regarding parking in Revere.
