Board requests 60‑day MTA plan after hearing on rampant double parking
Summary
Supervisors heard MTA data showing mixed citation trends, staffing impacts and targeted details; the committee asked MTA for a 60‑day plan to ensure consistent double‑parking enforcement and accepted that engineering, education and enforcement must be combined.
