Friends and Colleagues, I have been approached repeatedly over the past week in respect to the metered parking signs which suddenly appeared on some of our streets downtown. I thought that it would be a good idea to forward you the new ordinance which was adopted by your mayor and council on May 19th of this year. I know that the general feeling towards the pay parking has been almost unanimously negative, but knowledge and awareness are key here if you are going to propose an intelligent argument for your opinion. I have been doing business in this town for over 25 years and I have been a resident for over 10. I have heard all many complaints over the years, but complaining doesn't solve anything, nor does it implement change. I am not proposing an opinion about the situation at hand, but merely trying to express a point about living in a democracy and the rights we have as residents and business owners. IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, otherwise you can't complain. Below you will find a copy of ordinance #2982 which outlines the entire plan for metered parking city-wide, and what will be going into effect as early as mid-October downtown. All of your questions should be answered in that document. Regardless, I urge you to attend the parking committee meeting at City Hall on Tuesday, 9/27 at 5:30. If this date is not convenient, you also have an opportunity to speak your mind in front of the mayor and council at the council meeting tomorrow night, Wednesday, 9/21 at 7 PM. If you have any questions for me, I will gladly try my best to answer them, or get the answers for you.... Thank you, Peace Patrick Schiavino art629 Gallery (732) 988-5111 _http://cityofasburypark.com/pdfs/ordinance%20no.%202982.pdf_ (http://cityofasburypark.com/pdfs/ordinance%20no.%202982.pdf) Steve Herman, 1701 Ocean Ave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
