The City Council’s Ordinance Committee on Wednesday will hold the fourth and final public hearing on a proposed citywide resident sticker parking program. The hearing will be held at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Linden School on Westcott Street. The proposal would require residents to obtain a sticker for their vehicles, after proving they are registered in Malden, in order to park on city streets. Stickers would be given out free to residents each May. After that, there would be a $10 fee per sticker. The proposal also would ban parking on city streets from 1 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. for any vehicle that does not have a resident sticker. Parking on dozens of city streets would also be restricted to vehicles with stickers on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The proposal includes provisions for visitor passes. — Kathy McCabe
