Since I have lived in AP, I have not seen a single plan executed in anything but an extremely poor manner

If anything, they should extend the meters all the way to Park. I guarantee that the people who don't want to pay are just going to start parking east of Bergh. I'd be happier about paying if that was the case. I'm not upset over a mere $15, but between the lack of notification yesterday and painting lines over a damaged street I find myself shaking my head in disbelief over yet another poorly executed AP plan. --- In [email protected], cbrianwatkins@... wrote: > > I also heard the same thing, that the city was going to model it after > JC/Newark/Hoboken who charge residents $15 per year for residential parking > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > -----Original Message----- > From: "M." <filecabinet768@...> > Sender: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 18:19:42 > To: <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Parking lines on 1st Ave. btwn Kingsley and Bergh > > It was my understanding that the permit charges were going to be in the $15 > dollar range.
