The study focused on densely populated areas where residents have limited access to off-street parking. Candidate areas include Central/Downtown, North Salem, Bridge Street Neck, Salem Common, The Point, and South Salem. The Sustainability Department will send the full study to committee members and coordinate with the Department of Transportation on a possible pilot while examining parking, demographic, funding, and third-party financing issues. Approval of the December 2025 and January 2026 meeting minutes was postponed, and discussion of the residential embodied-carbon study was tabled until the next meeting.
