Parking director outlines ParkMobile rollout, EV charger activation and elevator assessments
Loading...
Summary
Director reported progress on ParkMobile and Flowbird zone standardization, installation of an EV charger in Chestnut Street Garage (awaiting programming), upcoming elevator assessments with a vendor quote near $100,000, and a completed loading-zone audit; committee asked for cost and location details for new signage and kiosks.
During the director's report, staff said the borough is coordinating a block-by-block ParkMobile rollout and working with Flowbird so zone codes match across payment apps to make parking easier for motorists. "We're breaking town into zones block by block so that we get better information on who is parking where and for how long," the director said.
Staff reported additional kiosks have been ordered and will be preprogrammed with existing rates. An EV charging station has been installed in the Chestnut Street Garage; the director said the station will be programmed and activated when the department's EV technician returns to the office.
On infrastructure, staff said Premier Vertical Solutions will begin elevator assessments at Bicentennial and Chestnut Street garages and that an initial quote from the current vendor was "around $100,000," which the department will compare for cost-effectiveness because of proprietary hardware and software concerns.
The director also summarized a completed loading-zone audit intended to confirm existing ordinance entries and posted times; staff said the intent was not to remove loading zones unless they are unused. Committee members asked for clarification of unclear figures in the financial handout and requested maps and finalized cost estimates for the wayfinding signage project once available.
Committee members thanked staff and asked that signage locations, cost estimates and kiosk placement be provided at the next meeting to support the 2026 capital project planning.
