This does not change my opinion. I read this one before. JK wanted enforcement of the ordinance, with new extended hours. I hold no ire towards him for that, nor towards anyone who wanted what is best for the safety of everyone on the boardwalk. That's what I wanted too. This change came after the initial coming to a head of the issue. I'm talking about who is responsible for instituting enforcement of a 24 hour bicycle ban; which my guess is, had no validity in writing; if you get my drift. My anger and frustration stem from the city changing horses midstream at my expense. It's simple, If I'd been told by Kinmon and Co. that it was out their hands, and I was going to be on my own, should I decide to invest in this new fleet; I would have kept the fleet from the previous year in place (I still had it in it's entirety). I invested an additional 14K after being told that there would be no issues with my new fleet (provided my patrons were not riding them dangerously, etc). This is why I asked (in April) before making the investment. All I wanted from anyone, was representation of the truth, so I knew the criteria to base my decisions on. Also, for the record, there was never any strict enforcement of the ordinance prior to or after this. I had the misfortune of being located next to two of the establishments that the cops predominantly hung out at; making it out of the question that I'd be able to rent my product out in relation to the selective enforcement.
P.S. Tom, I'll be glad to have you rent my equiptment, but please see home page on my website for details. Particularly, to call first in the off season; for a heads up. I don't have regular hours (I'm there when I'm there) in the off-season, but am glad to hold appointments. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "justifiedright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Robert > > In post 22400, Councilman JK says: > > "I also requested that regardless of what the policy was a bike > lane, riding until 12pm, etc. that we have STRICT enforcement of the > ordinance.
