Tired of taking off time from work to stand in line at City Hall to get that pesky parking permit? Why go to City Hall when City Hall can come to you.
From Tuesdays to Saturdays, the City Hall to Go Truck travels to Boston's neighborhoods, letting residents pay for permits and dog licenses; get library cards and meter cards; even file claims against the city for that pot hole that flattened their tire or that tree that demolished their house.
"Almost anything you need to go to City Hall for, we can save you the trip," said Danielle Valle Fitzgerald, the program's director.
And because the truck is staffed by two people at any given time, in most cases, there's little or no waiting. As word about the truck has spread, though, short lines have begun to spring up in some neighborhoods.
On Nov. 15, for example, 53 people renewed their parking permits at the truck in South Boston, where the stickers are set to expire on Nov. 30. Four days later, 100 people showed up in a three-hour span.
"It was absolutely insane," Valle Fitzgerald said. "I didn't even believe my eyes."
Kenneth A. Sinkiewicz was on his way home that day when he stopped by after noticing in his Twitter feed that the truck was going to be in Southie.
"I gave the man my utility bill and registration, he made a copy of them and said I should have my parking sticker by the end of the week," said Sinkiewicz, 63. "On Thursday, it arrived in the mail. I was quite impressed. It's nice to see city government working for its residents. I hope more people take advantage of it."
