Smart meters come to Hub

Boston will replace all 8,000 parking meters in the Hub with "next generation" smart meters.

The Back Bay and Innovation District will get multispace meters, which allow more vehicles to fit in a block of spaces, the city said. The rest of the parking meters will be replaced by meters that will accept change, credit cards and cell phone payments. The smart meters also will collect real-time data about whether a space is occupied.

The move, announced yesterday as part of Mayor Martin J. Walsh's transportation initiatives, is expected to cost $5 million. Replacement of the parking meters will begin by the end of the year.

Other big deals in the works include Simon Property's bid to buy rival Macerich, and AbbVie's deal to buy Pharmacyclics.
